To make the most of your gift, we may need to divide it up, or combine it with others to sell. It is therefore not possible for us to say what an individual gift has raised, but you can be assured that your stamps and collectables make a big difference.

Please ensure when posting your gift to us that it is weighed and the correct postage paid.
