 To do their bit Hunstanton Brownies sorting  and trimming stamps that had been collected for the Leprosy Mission.

Here's how to prepare and send the stamps to the Leprosy Mission.

When posting your gift, please ensure that it is weighed and bears the correct postage. Royal Mail charges us the amount due for underpaid items plus £1.
Wherever possible please ensure stamps on paper have no more than 5mm of single thickness border around each edge. Stamps off paper are equally welcome, but please ensure that they are fully clear of any backing. To obtain their value, stamps off paper will at some point have to be sorted. This can easily be done at the soaking stage and you can help immensely by doing this.
