Can I check if these are the appropriate homes for things?

Good quality shoes and clothes - charity shop (but ask first and not local)?

Well-worn clothes and shoes and used bedding - recycling textiles skip at local recycling centre?

Lingerie, nightwear etc - normal rubbish bin?

Costume jewellery - charity shop?

Books, CDs, DVDs - charity shop?

    Hi Kezzie100 welcome to the forum. I think this sounds like a sensible thing to do and most charity shops will be delighted with the donations. I know at our local shops you can say very clearly that you dont want these in the local shops and they can get picked up and go somewhere else in the country.

    That's fab.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
