    If you're in Bristol then Crisis Centre Ministries, a charity for the homeless, would be very pleased to receive them.

    Cat's Protection League collect them, if you are a moggie lover.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Thank you for all your replies. :T Looks like I'll be dividing the stamps to all the charities. I didn't realise that so many of them collected stamps!!! :rotfl:

    Hi,

    I collect the used postage stamps for charity and just wondered what charities take them and also if any ME charities do as I suffer from this I would like to support the charity (so if anyone has old postage stamps or doesnt already collect them!!)

    Tear the stamps off the envelopes - and preferably neatly trim the border to about 3 millimetres. You can take them into your local Oxfam shop or send them to either Save the Children, 1 St Johns Lane, London EC1M 4AR or RNIB Supporter Care Team, Falcon Park, Neasden Lane, London, NW10 1RN (ideally sorted into packs of first class and above, second class and below, foreign, etc

    A local sainsburys to me which also has a post office in it has a box for collecting stamps.

    And my local post office come little corner shop has a sweetie jar that is for collecting used stamps.


    So you could try your local Post office.


    Yours
