Direct mail fundraising could shortly get considerably more expensive for charities.
According to the BBC ([Royal Mail seeks stamp price rise](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6399565.stm)),“
Royal Mail is asking for a six pence increase in the price of UK stamps to stem 
losses and ensure its survival”. This is one of a series of proposals it has put
to regulator Postcomm this week.

If this goes ahead, then a first-class stamp will cost 38p and a second-class stamp
29p.
