Donate your stamps
Why not collect stamps at home or within your workplace for Help the Aged? We welcome old and new British and foreign stamps.
Stamps are sorted into categories and then sold to dealers or collectors. They are mostly sold by weight, if we can identify any valuable stamps they can be sold for a higher price. On average Help the Aged receives around £3 for a pound weight of stamps.
To donate and recycle your stamps
Trim stamps, please leave approximately 1cm of envelope with each stamp. Sort into:
- First Class and above
- Second Class and below
- Foreign and commemorative.
Or, if you don't have the time, feel free to send them just as they are!
