It's the time of the year that I guess we're all receiving lots of cards with stamps on them, and I start cutting them off and wondering who to donate them to. Does anyone know of a charity that collects them at the moment?
Thanks.
PS I have done a search on this but the only replies are dated March 2013 and it would be good to have more up to date information.

P.S. I bought some stamps recently because my hoard had run out, and the prices made me decide to send electronic greetings with seasonal attachments in future.Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?
