Gift blunders to aid charity

UNWANTED Christmas presents can be distributed for free to Cancer Research UK outlets – providing vital funds – through a new scheme by an parcel delivery firm.

People who don’t have time to drop donations at a charity shop can donate items for free when booking a collection through ipostparcels.com. The items will be picked up and delivered to one of 53 shops.

Lynn Muller, Cancer Research UK’s head of product operations, said: “We rely on the generosity of the public to fill shelves with clothes, books, toys and household items.”
