Recycle stamps
If you can't afford to give money to charity, there are still ways to donate to your favourite charities. Don't throw away used stamps instead collect them and give them to charity.
How to collect stamps
- Save all of your stamps at home and work and why not ask your friends and colleagues to give their stamps to you too
- Commemorative and foreign stamps are especially valuable
- Cut around the stamps leaving a 5mm border
- Sort stamps into UK and foreign boxes
