Sorry to post this here, but I didnt know where else to post. Ive been collecting used stamps because Im sure there are charities who can benefit from them, unfortunately I cant remember which charities. Can anyone give me advice on who/where to send them?.......afterall, why bin them if they can be of some benefit? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, as well as helping me to a good deed, thanks in advance guys xxxx:A
*(Also thought if others who read and use this thread saved up their stamps from any postal freebies received, we could all do a good deed and give something back....karma and universe and all that xx)*

Have you looked in your post office? Our post office and doctor's surgery have boxes for used stamps. I'm not 100% sure but think it's for blind dogs - saves you posting them.

I sent my last lot to Guide Dogs for the Blind, but it looks like they won't be taking them past the end of this year:

I think the time prior to that I sent them to Oxfam.

Have you tried the Chatriites Board?

Someone there might be able to help you

We collect them at work and I think they go to Diabetes Foundation, it may be worth contacting your local branch to find out if they also collect.

I can't be sure, but I seem to recall that branches of Vision Express often have collection boxes in store.
