Wanted Used Postage Stamps for charity

Used postage stamps are often discarded and thrown out with the rubbish instead of being recycled.

Many charities have a ' Used postage stamps for charity ' box, which can both help raise funds and reduce landfill.

Almost everyone receives mail with postage stamps on. So start collecting now. The amount of stamps is not of great importance as even small amounts can be of help.

Any stamps are suitable including UK, world, old, new, used, unused, postcards, First day Covers, Presentation packs, Mini Sheets, Sheets of stamps, interesting envelopes, collections, on paper, off paper, Philatelic Ephemera including anything related to the Postal Service/Post Office etc.

Schools, offices/work places and clubs are all good places to put a collecting box or large envelope and just let people know what you are doing.

If you are a stamp collector, why not donate your duplicates and spares?

All funds raised in this way will go directly to help nature conservation in Cornwall.

Thanks to everyone that sent used postage stamps, the total raised so far is £149!
