Not exactly what you were asking, but RNLI do collect used stamps
to raise funds for their activities.


RNLI

fundraising.

Stamps can be sent to a local volunteer at the following address:

Besides selling their series of lkifeboat event covers and
a series of UK FDCs, the RNLI did sell poster stamps (stickers)
to raise funds and also produced a stamp album to hold them.

These "stickers" first appeared in 1915 and there have been various
series. I do not know if there is a catalogue of them.

The Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger or DGzRS
(literally translated: "German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked",
but more commonly referred to in English as the German Lifeboat
Institution or GLI) is responsible for Search and Rescue in German
territorial waters in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, including the
Exclusive Economic Zone.

The headquarters and the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre of the
Society are located in Bremen. It was founded in Kiel on 29 May 1865.
It owns 61 lifeboats at 54 stations, 185 employed crew members and 800
volunteers. The Society has about 2500 engagements every year. Up to
2005, it rescued approximately 72,000 persons. In 2004 it saved 368
lives, rescued 837 persons from critical situations and carried out
343 medical transports.

Like the comparable British and Dutch organizations, the DGzRS is
entirely financed by membership fees, private donations and legacies.

Writer and honorary member Nikolai von Michalewsky has immortalized
the DGzRS in his series of science fiction novels by taking it as the
model for his "Independent Society for Saving Spacewrecked".

The Flying doctor is used by our remote town about once a week,
he flew in last evening as it was.

Does this mean that you no longer frequent
the Red Cross stamp Shop in Perth?
