Recycle your jewellery and gadgets
Recycling for Good Causes accepts old jewellery, watches, gadgets and even old foreign or UK banknotes.
All items received are assessed and recycled by experts to raise the greatest possible funds for SPANA. We’re delighted that almost £20,000 has been raised from our recycling appeals so far, so thank you to everyone who has donated.

Giveacar
Scrap your car for SPANA! We have teamed up with Giveacar, the car donation website. If you are thinking about scrapping your car, why not donate it to SPANA?
Giveacar arranges the free collection of all cars, anywhere in the UK. Cars are either recycled, and a donation made based on the value of scrap metal, or put into an auction, and a donation made based on the proceeds of the auction.
Donate your car to SPANA here.
Donate used stamps
One of SPANA’s valued supporters has agreed to take on the time-consuming task of processing and selling used stamps to raise some much-needed funds for SPANA. If you’d like to contribute, please cut your stamps from the envelope and leave ¼ inch around the stamp to make them easier to process. Please do not tear around the stamps as this damages them and makes them worthless to sell on.
Please send all stamps to:
The Stamp Appeal
10 Chestnut Avenue
North Walsham
Norfolk
NR28 9XH
If you would like to know they have arrived safely, please include a stamped addressed envelope.
Please check the packet size and weight before you send any packages as any that arrive underpaid will have to be paid for by SPANA funds.
Donate old postcards
Do you have any old postcards lying around at home? By sending them on you can help raise funds for working animals.
Please send postcards to:
Miss J Webb
18 Hammonds Way
Totton
Southampton
Hampshire
SO40 3HF
Miss Webb will kindly sell them on to collectors and donate the proceeds to SPANA.
