Save Your Stamps for the Air Ambulance

December 23, 2009 · 4 Comments

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. The address to send your stamp donations to is:

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance

Stamp Appeal

P O Box 638

Fareham

Hampshire

PO14 9JJ

I have become a 'collection point' for people from four local villages who pass me their used stamps, cartridges and mobile phones. I then sort and send them off. My son has been in the air ambulance twice, so i am trying to do my bit to help.
