I'm hoping for some sensible suggestions here!

My mother sadly passed away a few months ago. I have the task of sorting through her clothes. A lot of things will be going to charity shops. But I'm not sure what to do with the everyday things like pants, socks, tights, etc. I know bras can go to a bra-bank to raise money for breast cancer research. But what to do with the rest? Someone suggested that a women's refuge would happily take such items. Any ideas from you knowledgeable locals? It seems a shame just to bin things.

Thanks.

Charity shops get money for items such as this which we can't sell. We at St Christopher's have 'rag bags' which still raise money for the cause. If you hand it in, make it clear these items are for 'ragging' and they will go straight in the appropriate bag.

Sorry for your loss.

    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car. 
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
    • There's a food bank off Dog Kennel Hill. Albrighton Community Fridge. https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/ I'm sure they would welcome them, but maybe check first, as they don't actually mention fresh fruit on their website? But apples aren't that perishable. Drop off seven days a week 9 - 5. Be warned if you are going by car, parking can be very difficult, easiest if there are two of you so one person can take the food in while the other can move the car if necessary.
    • Food banks for sure and what about approaching these schools in area that run summer camps - although having said that with health and safety being so strict might not allow it - crazy really.    Can’t remember name of church but was one in Peckham that from memory did a community meal a couple of times a week. Now they for sure would take them and probably Kingswood House as well.
