This is a webpage listing charities in the UK which collect used postage stamps to raise money for charity. Charities find used stamps an excellent source of extra income, and you are helping save the environment by not binning them! What could be better?
If you collect stamps for a charity, add yourself to the list
Just send an email with what charity its for, a few words about the charity so that people know what cause they are supporting, if its not clear from the name, and an email/website where people can ask for the postal address of where to send the stamps. This listing is free, and kept up to date, so if things change, just contact me to have the listing edited or removed.
The people below collect used stamps for charities, and please send your used stamps to any of them, they will be most gratefully received. If you collect stamps for charity, then please email on englishgirl2009-sunshine@yahoo.co.uk to be included on this list.

Re-delivery was arranged twice after long protracted and expensive phonecalls but on both occaisions, DHL never turned up.
