Hi,


I have nine bags of clothes and some bags of old bedding/pillows etc.

I'd like to donate these to charity but don't have a car to transport (so clothes donation bins are a no go).


Anyone know the best way for me to do this?


I've already contacted Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers a couple of weeks ago but got no response, and don't want to resort to putting them in the bags that come through the door, as I read that hardly any of the money goes to charity.


I'm based at HOP.


Help?

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers would take them. They give out clothes. They have a session in the Copleston Centre on Tuesdays http://www.sdcas.org.uk/our-centres.html


I'm sorry they didn't respond. I know they get snowed under but are grateful for clothes. You could try again or drop in.

ALD are well organised and will take pretty anything and select what they need and move the rest on. If you have no leanings either way, it is far better to focus on Human charities rather than animal ones, as domestic pet charities are proportionatly overepresented in the charity sector

St. Christophers Hospice shops and Brirish Heart foundation also collect. BHF also collects furniture and electrics seperately.


BFH shop prices are said to be highest so if you have anythiing really good worth considering donating to to them.


I know that BHF and Aldi also take clothing sheets towels (not pillows or duvets) that are in too poor conmdition to sell. The need to be seperately bagged and labelled "RAGS".


Also please note that if you are a TAX PAYER, it is worth saying that you want to do GIFT AID when you are asking for collection. Charity can claim a percentage of profits cost.


Thabks to this forum and fact am downsizing I have learnt a lot :-).

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
