Looking for a UK charity that takes donations of used postage stamps anyone know any?
Q. I keep all the postage stamps that I get on letters and I save them as there used to be a place nearly where I lived (a newsagents) that people could take them to and they passed them on to a certain charity. The shop is no longer open but I have continued to save all the postage stamps from letters I receive. Does anybody know of a charity that takes them - I'm in the UK? Very grateful for any contacts you can give me - thanks! That should read near where I live not nearly.

Two of the ideas presented to us so far are a charity golf tournament and a walk-a-thon. Any other good ideas?

How do I find out if the charity or fund I want to sponsor is legit?
Q. I've read articles saying that some very elite charities have been known to have people in it who were pocketing most of the money. If I'm going to sponsor a charity or cause I want to make sure than my donation goes to the right people, so how can I make sure of it?
