Unwanted Christmas post.

Yesterday I received a large envelope, A4 size from a UK based Cats charity.
It contained, a pen, 6 good quality Christmas cards, 2 note books, a sheet of Christmas stickers with my full name and address on it.
I have never ever had any contact with this Charity, nor have any of my friends or relations. It is local to an area in England where I have no contacts at all, never even visited.
Why, and how?
I do not live in the UK, have not for 30 years. It cost £1.45 to post plus all the 'gifts' too.
I do not shop online, and only support local charities with time rather than money and have never sent online money to any charity at all.
What a waste of their resources, in my humble opinion.

I always just bin unwanted mail even if it contains cards or pens or whatever. If you return to sender you are just confirming that it has been received and seen.
My DD lives a mile or two from felice and the postal service leaves a lot to be desired, her birthday cards had been opened. This is a common gripe in the commune news. Sorry bit off piste.
