Help For Heroes Website Banner
I'm a supporter for 'Help for Heroes' charity, and would like to put a banner on my companies website than will link to the help the heroes official site. Does anyone know how I can do this? I don't just want to put a bit of text with a hyperlink, I mean a banner to run at the bottom of the screen.
Used stamps - anyone recommend anyone
Hi I work for a befriending scheme within the Alzheimer's Society and someone on here was saying they paid for used stamps for charity. However, when I click the web link they provided me with, it no longer works. Can anyone recommend anyone that pays for used British stamps? We have been busily collecting for the last…

Posters for children's home?
Hello, Bit of an odd one here. When Woolworths collapsed, I bought a massive box of posters from their closing sales for, like, £2. Sold a fair few at a car boot and made more than my money back.

Hi everyone, I've just started to organise another Charity Event to raise funds for Zoe's Place Baby Hospice http://www.zoesplaceliverpool.org/ I did this in 2008 and although I got quite a few prizes from generous companies willing to donate, I felt I was working a bit blind as this was my first time. I was wondering if…
