Send used stamps to The Sun’s Smiles At Christmas campaign to raise money for children with cancer
Become a Stamp Champ by collecting used stamps and CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading charity for kids with cancer, will sell them through their eBay shop
Thousands of you have been sending cash to our Smiles At Christmas appeal in aid of CLIC Sargent - the UK’s leading charity for kids with cancer.
Now there is another way to donate even if you don’t have any spare cash.... you can collect used stamps and become a Stamp Champ.
Collecting used stamps this Christmas is an easy way to raise money for our appeal.
All money we raise is going to help families who have a child diagnosed with cancer.
Our appeal will help to pay for dedicated CLIC Sargent cancer nurses.
It will also help to fund special Homes From Home accommodation so families can stay near their sick kids who are in hospital over the festive period.
All you need to do is carefully tear the stamped corner from any envelope or packet that you receive in the post and start a collection.
One idea is to gather together all used stamps from your family’s Christmas cards.
Once you get together a large bundle of stamps, bag them up and send them in.
CLIC Sargent are able to sell all stamps they receive - UK, foreign, old or franked - through their award-winning eBay shop.
They are purchased by stamp collectors and so far this year they have raised over £10,000 from Stamp Champ.
Jason Webster, Head of Charity Trading, CLIC Sargent, said: “Just by sending us your old stamps that would otherwise go in the bin you can help children with cancer and their families this Christmas and beyond.
“It’s a fun thing to do with your loved ones over the festive period – and every stamp you collect will help fund our dedicated nursing and care teams who work so hard to change the lives of young cancer patients.”
You can become a CLIC Sargent Stamp Champ too in your place of work, college or local school and turn post into money that will help support young people with cancer.
Either take your stamp collection into your nearest CLIC Sargent charity shop or send them to: Stamp Champ CLIC Sargent, Unit 6, Abbeywood Business Park, Filton, Bristol BS34 7JU.
