    Hi!
    I take mine into the local Kidney Research charity shop. The lady in there told me that someone takes them, steams off the backing and puts them in albums to sell for the charity. Take care when ripping them off the envelope to leave a decent margin around the stamp. Hope this helps.
  • The MS Society can use them.

    My friend collects used stamps, they're split between Guide Dogs for the Blind and an oncology unit in Liverpool (I don't know which one sorry) where her mum was treated for cancer. If anyone has any they'd like to donate to her if you PM me I'll give you my address and I can pass them on to her :-) Thanks

  • When I look on the sites, it says that they sell the stamps to collectors... so is it worth sending everyday stamps, or are they only after ones with some sort of picture on?
