Local schools or charities that might want donations?

[P.O.U.S.theWonderCat]

I've got a printer/fax/scanner/copier that I no longer use since I changed jobs. I wanted to give it to local school or charity - any ideas how to find out if anyone could use it? I'd put it in the Items offered section but from previous experience I've not always attracted worthy recipients there - one chap claimed to belong to a homeless shelter then promptly sold the stuff on GumTree for a profit.

I know some charities can't take printers, St Christopher's for instance.

I was thinking more of an organisation that might want to use it rather than resell. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers used to borrow laptops from an IT charity (for training etc.). I was wondering whether that charity might be able to use the printer or advise you about a worthy cause. Maybe SDCAS could put you in touch with them.

How about approaching Bell House at 27 College Road - they from my understanding are becoming morexinvolved in community events... Also Southwark CAN has a volunteer section which I assume is for people but might give you some ides as to organisations/ charity.

Another couple of thought - couples ton centre and what about asking on local church???
