Recycle for Parkinson's UK

Support Parkinson's UK by recycling your stamps. We accept used, first and second class, foreign, first day covers, presentation packs and albums. 

There are 2 easy ways to recycle stamps for Parkinson's UK.

Simply cut or carefully rip off the postage stamp from the used envelope, being careful that you do not damage the stamp. Once you have a collection pop them in an envelope and post them to us.
