Do you have a collection tin or donations at your office, Mail Centre or Delivery Office?

Our partnership with Action for Children ends in March. It is a legal requirement that any funds raised in aid of Action for Children are banked. These funds cannot be later donated to other charities.

Before you send in your final collection why not do a last whip around and see if anyone would like to pop in a pound to help us reach our £2 million target! Money raised via this route will be matched penny for penny by Royal Mail. 

If you don't have a collection tin but would still like to donate, you can pop in a pound to our virtual collection tin here

How do I pay in my collection tin?

Option 1: Paying in at the Post Office.
