Save Your Stamps for the Air Ambulance

Used postage stamps can be turned into valuable funds for the Air Ambulance. We are working with a stamp dealer who has years of experience in converting used stamps into funds for various charities, and with your help we can achieve up to £13.20 per kg for UK stamps and £19.80 per kg for

foreign stamps. We ask that you send your stamp donations directly to our

dealer, and pre-sorted into three categories:

UK stamps (1st and 2nd class stamps)

UK Commemorative stamps

Foreign Stamps

We welcome all stamps, on or off the paper, but if possible stamps should have no more than 10mm of single thickness border around them. Please do not trim them so close that the perforations are damaged. If you use High Value Commemorative Stamps or Miniature Sheets (above the rate of a 1st class stamp) on your packaging we will receive an additional 50 pence per item received.

This is an easy way to help raise funds for the Air Ambulance, and going forward we will be sending out regular reports on how much the stamp recycling raises. Please make sure that the postage is correct when you send them.

The address to send your stamp donations to is:
