You Are Here : Charity Stamp Appeal
With recycling being an important subject these days Canine Partners is launching their official Canine Partners Stamp Appeal across the country. The Charity is working with a stamp dealer who operates with various charities to turn your stamps into much-needed funds.
Over the festive season is the perfect time for individuals, businesses and schoolchildren to start collecting stamps so that Canine Partners can turn them into funds to help train more canine partners for people with disabilities. So remember to keep all the stamps from the Christmas cards you receive! Just £5,000 raised will cover the cost of a puppy’s first year of training.
All kinds of stamps are welcome, on or off paper. You need to leave no more than a 5mm single thickness border around them, and the perforations should not be damaged. Any commemorative or special stamps should be sent, or handed over, separately.
Collected stamps can be dropped off at one of the Charity’s twelve puppy satellite centres, including the National Training Centre at Heyshott, West Sussex. The contact details for our satellites are on this page.. in: West Scotland, East Scotland, Hull, Staffordshire, Bedford, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Essex, West Sussex, East Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Alternatively you can send the stamps direct to the address below, and the money raised will go straight into the Canine Partners account:

NB: Please ensure the correct postage is paid when you send them.
Remember, you can keep collecting stamps for Canine Partners long after all the festivities are finished. Let’s try and raise enough to train lots more puppies in 2012.
