Quarter of a million stamps donated to church used stamp appeal
The stamps, which are sorted into UK or overseas and counted into batches of 500, are then donated to Oxfam and Leukaemia Care who sell them to raise vital funds.
The Artery, in Parsons Street, is a collection point for the stamps and is open from 9am-5.30pm, Tuesday to Friday, until 9pm on Mondays, and from 8.30am until 4pm on Saturday.

“A big thank you to everyone who has been involved. Reaching 250,000 is an amazing achievement for the project that has been running for about four years.”
