Recycle your old mobile phones and empty ink-jet or laser printer cartridges to help LUCIA raise funds. It won't cost you a penny!
Just order your FREEPOST envelopes, pop the cartridges or phone into one of the envelopes and drop it in your local Postbox. That's it!
For larger collections, such as your work offices or school, you can request a collection box. Once the box is full, you just dial the number on the box to arrange collection. It's as simple as that!

Hopefully Santa brought you just what you hoped for at Christmas ...but sometimes we're left with one or two things that we just won't use and so we put them at the back of a cupboard, where they sit for years and collect dust!
If you have anything like that, why not free up some of your cupboard space, earn yourself some money and make a small donation to LUCIA - helping poor communities in Africa too! How? ...well you could put those unwanted gifts up for sale on eBay and donate a small portion of the sale price to LUCIA. It's quick and easy to do and much better than letting things go to waste.
If you don't like that idea, you might like to consider donating complete and unopened items to LUCIA, so that they could be used in a fundraising competition or sale. If you would like to donate an unwanted gift, then please contact us.
Why not take a look at LUCIA's new range of festive cards for 2009. They're now available to buy in packs of ten from the LUCIA Shop(UK only), along with a selection of some of our older traditional and alternative designs . Each card carries the LUCIA logo and web address, so what nicer way to send your seasons greetings and help spread the word about LUCIA's work at the same time!
All profits made from the sale of these cards will go towards helping our projects in Africa.
Foreign Currency lying around that you no longer need?
Instead of wasting it and cluttering up your drawers, please consider donating it to LUCIA who will use it to support important education, income generation and health projects in Africa.
We take any type of foreign currency. It can be just a few coins, or a wad of notes!
LUCIA has a new range of ethically traded and traditionally inspired scarves and shawls, that have been hand-made in Ethiopia. Just right for making superb Christmas gifts. Either 100% organic Silk, or 100% Cotton and being genuine Sabahar or Konjo labelled products, you can be assured of their quality.
Perfect for keeping out those chilly winter breezes. Take a look at the different types and colours available in our online Shop.
As always, ALL profits raised from these items go to help projects in Africa. Not only that, but since these items are produced in Ethiopia too, the entire process puts money back into Ethiopian communities and households. So you're helping twice over from a single purchase!
On the envelopes that your letters arrive in, there will often be postage stamps. It does not matter if they are post-marked. Please send us your used postage stamps!
LUCIA can raise money from used stamps, so please try to remember to save your used stamps for us. Simply tear or cut them out of the used envelope - leaving about an inch border - and without damaging them and then you can either post them in to us at the address below, or you can hand them in at one of our events, or give them to one of the LUCIA staff if you know them in person.
LUCIA, P.O. Box 224, Spar, The Guild, Edgbaston Park Road, Birmingham, West Midlands. B15 2TU. United Kingdom.
Many thanks for your kind support. All the money raised will help to support projects in Africa.
