A question about : Used postage stamps

It's the time of the year that I guess we're all receiving lots of cards with stamps on them, and I start cutting them off and wondering who to donate them to. Does anyone know of a charity that collects them at the moment?
Thanks.

PS I have done a search on this but the only replies are dated March 2013 and it would be good to have more up to date information.

Best answers:

  • If you like horses send them to Redwings https://www.redwings.org.uk/fundraising-stamps.php
  • I take mine into Oxfam.
  • P.S. I bought some stamps recently because my hoard had run out, and the prices made me decide to send electronic greetings with seasonal attachments in future.
  • Or human mothers-to-be

    Dogs Trust certainly collect stamps but I can't find the address on their website (it is not head office but a private individual)

  • Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! (Sorry I'm so late replying - have been poorly over Christmas).
  • NBFA Assisting the Elderly collect used stamps too - the charity support older people across the UK. Sorry I can't post the website as I'm still new here!
