Great post!
ReplyDeleteI send my used stamps to Post Pals which is a children's charity I support (www.postpals.co.uk). You can also find them on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/post.pals.7?fref=ts).
The address to send them to is a volunteer's address so they will private message if you ask but don't post it publicly x
This is brilliant! Thank you so much for posting this! I shall be sending them off for a good cause again ( thought collections for stamps were over) nice to know they can still be useful xxx
ReplyDeleteMy local school collects them. :-) also one of the charity shops in town (ironically very close to post office) has a drop off box in the front of shop.

Stamps are worth around £6 per kilo to PDSA.
You can send your used stamps to:
PDSA Stamp Appeal,
PO Box 9191,
Wishaw,
Lanarkshire,

ReplyDeleteIf you are thinking of sending Stamps for Charity some stamps, please make sure you cut the backing paper very closely around the edge of the stamp and make Stamps for Charity aware that you want the donation to go to the National Osteoporosis Society. The charity will then receive a donation for every kg sent.
Help us stamp out albatross deaths by giving us your used postage stamps - we can convert them to cash. In 2012/13 your stamps helped us raise £17,000!
ReplyDeleteSo, how does it work?
We sell the stamps on. Each stamp has a small value, but in large quantities they're still valuable. When you send in your stamps, you're helping give albatrosses a brighter future. For example, £50 worth of stamp sales will buy a tori-line (bird scaring device) for a longline fishing vessel.
The stamp scheme works in two ways:
•Loose stamps: we work with a stamp dealer who sells them on and pays us a proportion of the proceeds. We raise up to £3.50 per kg for UK stamps and £12.50 per kg for foreign stamps. Please send loose stamps directly to the dealer, pre-sorted into UK and foreign please.
•We ask that stamp albums, first day covers and rare stampsonly are sent to us in the Community Fundraising Department at The Lodge. We will look through these, batch up and send to an auction houses to achieve the best price we can.
Do I need to take the stamp off the envelope?
Yes please - just tear off the corner with the stamp, ideally with no more than a quarter of an inch border.
How can I send in my stamps?
There are a number of ways that you can send in stamps:
•Send loose stamps to: RSPB Stamps, PO Box 6198, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire LU7 9XT. Please note, this is the address of our dealer, not an RSPB office, so please do not send any correspondence - or donations - to this address
•If you have first day covers, or stamp albums, please send them to: Save the Albatross Stamp Appeal (Special Stamps and Albums), RSPB, The Lodge, Sandy, Beds, SG19 2DL. Please do not send loose stamps here.
•If you have a large number of stamps, you might like to consider combining delivering them with a visit to one of our nature reserves. Combine fabulous wildlife, a visit to the countryside and help albatrosses all in one go. You are also welcome to drop them off at one of our offices. See the links (right) for designated 'drop off' points. Our other drop off points are: the office in Newcastle, 1 Sirius House, Amethyst Road, Newcastle Business Park, NE4 7YL and Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow, G3 8AG.
We can take used (and new) stamps and can sell them to help raise vital funds for the animals in our care. Individual supporters, clubs, groups and businesses alike can all collect their used stamps and send them in to us:
