Help hedgehogs with used stamps

The British Hedghog Preservation Society (registered charity no 326885) is dedicated to helping & protecting hedgehogs native to the UK.

It seeks to encourage & give advice to the public about the care of hedgehogs care, especially when injured, sick, treated cruelly or orphaned. It also works to encourage children to respect our natural wildlife, as you can see from Spike the hedgehog's letter. (By the way, if you want to get rid of slugs from your garden, Spike advises that you encourage hedgehogs, as they'll happily gobble them up). The Society also funds research into behaviour habits of hedgehogs to help determine the best method of helping them survive

The charity also runs a helpline with advice on caring & encouraging hedgehogs in the wild & in your garden. You can find their contact details here

The British Hedgehog Conservation Society needs our used stamps to help them raise vital funds to continue with this work. They also need worthless, foreign pre-decimal coins or notes, old or broken gold or silver jewellery

You can send your used stamps only to Mr S Bence, BHPS STAMPS, 35 Lime Road, Southam, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire CV47 1EQ

Anything else can go direct to Hedgehog House, Dhustone, Ludlow, Shropshire SY8 3PL

  1. Please note, Kay Bullen is no longer at 5 Foreland road, and this address is no longer associated with the charity - so no stamps please!
