Our stamps don’t expire, so you’ll have plenty of time to savour the special offers which reflect the unique collection of places featured on the site… champers on ice, midnight feast hampers and free bags of calf feed to name a few!

You decide what it’s worth! After our small admin fee of £5, every penny goes to a charity of your choice; something close to your heart. We'll then share Classified Inspiration about your charity with our online communities on Facebook and Twitter, giving much needed exposure to great causes throughout the UK. It’s up to you!
