Walter hates to waste anything and has decided to start saving stamps for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
Hearing dogs can literally transform people’s lives – a dog gives a deaf person the independence to go out without feeling alone or self-conscious. In the home a trained dog can alert deaf people to sounds they can’t hear. Sounds we take for granted like the doorbell, alarm clock and even danger signals like the fire alarm!
If you would like to help us and start collecting stamps form parcels, postcards and letters, to help, just drop them into reception next time you are passing. It helps the charity considerably if you trim then so there is only about a cm around each stamp.
Hearing dogs for the Deaf say there is a lot of interest in used stamps from artists and collectors, with British stamps being particularly popular because of the variety.
7kg of stamps is equal to over £100 for the charity!
.....and now we are after your FOREIGN COINS for the same charity.
How often do you return from you holiday with your left over euros, dollars and rupees? Well we would be glad of them!
