In today’s world, where digital communication reigns supreme, it’s easy to forget how used stamps for charity can be so valuable.
However, even in an age of emails and instant messaging, used postage stamps can still hold significant value—especially for charitable causes.
The Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital championed one initiative that transforms these small paper squares into a force for good. Drop off your used stamps at the hospital shop or send them to the address below.
The Power of Used Postage Stamps
Postage stamps have long been collected and cherished by philatelists worldwide. While collectors often seek rare and pristine stamps, there’s an opportunity to harness the value of everyday used stamps for charitable purposes.
By collecting these used stamps for charity, good causes can raise funds to support various initiatives.
