No idea if this is the right section but does anyone know of a local charity that might want a wedding dress? I have a beautiful designer dress that I can't bear to gather dust. Much prefer it went to a good home.


Any suggestions welcome

 

Oxfam sell donated clothes online as well as in their shops.


You could try phoning the Oxfam shop at Herne Hill ?


They might be able to get more money for it online, as it will have many more potential buyers than in just one local shop?

oo thanks I'll try oxfam

 

I think that StChristophers which is a local charity may appreciate it more.

They have less admin costs than a huge concern like Oxfam and also make much less money from donations.

 

Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that somebody is going to be in the St Christopher's shop and is looking for a wedding dress and just happens to spot this one.


Which happens both to be in their size and a style that they like.


Whereas Oxfam online has a much larger number of potential buyers.


I bought my partner a linen jacket from there after we had been looking in charity shops for one for ages.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • 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
