Oxfam raises funds by recycling stamps of all kinds, including British.
Just cut them off with 1cm of envelope surrounding, no need to sort
them,and send to Oxfam's nearest stamp collection point.

Wonderful. Thanks, Janet.


Another way of contributing is through WorldVision. Last year I asked
not to receive any cars or presents but an alternative present would be
appreciated. I got apple trees, grain, goats, sheep, mosquito nets,
water purifying tablets. Obviously this stuff was sent straight to
Uganda (my chosen charity) and I got a card from each person who donated
telling me what they had bought me for Christmas. I will continue this
tradition so as some of you very kindly send me cards, may I ask that
you consider making a donation instead to any charity, even if it's only
the cost of a postage stamp, it all adds up.

If anyone is interested in WorldVision this is where you can get further
information www.worldvision.org.uk
