Justgiving: profit in disguise

A question about : Justgiving: profit in disguise

We sat down this afternoon to make our annual donations to various charities, including Ј150 + Giftaid to the Simon Community. After we made the donation we noticed the money went to a company called Justgiving and at first thought we had been scammed.

We re-opened the Simon donation page and realised the only mention of Justgiving was the name on a strip across the page. Research reveals that Justgiving is a trading name of Giving Ltd. which makes over Ј1 million a year by raking off at least 6.5% of our donations.

Used postage stamps

A question about : Used postage stamps

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.

    Looking to give away calendar

    A question about : Looking to give away calendar

    Hello,

    This Christmas I got a 3 calendars as gifts. While much appreciated there's a limit on how many calendars a girl needs! I've given one away to a friend but still have a 'cute kittens' calendar.

    If anyone knows any good causes who might be able to use it (even to cut out the kitten photos for paper crafts etc) just let me know and I'll gladly pay the postage to pass it on!
