Good place to donate to?

[Mrsrhireid]

Hi there,

I wonder if anyone might have any good ideas of places that I could donate some baby and kids items? Some of it is in excellent condition and some more used, but still with plenty of life left in it. A mixture of clothes, toys and other practical items.

I'm really struggling to find somewhere (probably due to the time of year I'm sure. I've tried women's refuges I can find and my local community centre.

Does anybody know of any refugee collections or similar happening at the moment? I really don't want to throw it away as it's nice stuff, but I need to get it out of my very small flat!

Any ideas gratefully received.

Many thanks

You could contact Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) [www.sdcas.org.uk]. They have a lot of mums with young children at their centres. The main office is at the Copleston Centre [tel: 020 7732 0505 (staffed Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays) or e-mail: [email protected]].

They are a super charity.

Can anyone recommend anywhere that would be interested in a donation of children's books for ages 0-5?

Kings children's a and e are always grateful for books and toys.
