The last 2 days I have been sorting out good and working order items, this includes clothes, ornaments, furniture and whatever I could find that we did not require any longer and it would be a help to others, especially in need.
I know money is tight for most, so before you decide to give away, think first is there anything you may need that could be recycled from things you have been sorting our, for example, maybe an old cupboard could be used for shelves etc.
If you have children, especially daughters with dolls, maybe any clothes that are not so good for charity as such, the best of the material could be used to make dolls clothes.
Any old woollen items could be undone and remade into something else.
But..........if your not in need as such and feel like a tidy up the same time, anything you don't want, there are always someone that will be in need.
Charity shops/organisations will mostly accept good condition items.
Do a google search for local businesses that will pick up for free as well, and sometimes we are posted free bags through our letter-boxes, always check the trademark to make sure these come from reputable companies as well.
They ask for shoes in good order, clothes, ornaments and so on.
We have one company that come round that will pay up to £5 for a certain weight, but am always happy to help others in need even without being paid for this.
They do say "Charity begins at home" but as our kids grow, clothes, toys they grow out of, so why not help others?
