Donating Clothes To Charity

I used to buy a lot of clothes in charity shops as well as donating them, then I moved to the country and what with covid I haven't done either for quite a while. The shops were almost on my doorstep before but it's quite a way to go to them now. I did have some large items collected a couple of years ago and they took the boxes I had ready at the same time. I think the charity shops must be struggling these days. I do find it quite therapeutic having a clear out of unwanted items though.

Yeh I love to donate using the bags that come through the door

But then also nice to support the charity shops and buy stuff from there

We also donate our unwanted still wearable clothes to charity shops. My worry is that, I will walk past and see my clothes in the window and buy them back, hate getting rid of stuff.

Yes I donate but I use a service that collects from my house as it’s so much easier than dragging it all to a shop as I don’t drive.

Popped into the charity shops yesterday and got some bargain toys and a school summer dress for my daughter. So I’ll be returning the one I got from eBay!

I donated loads of stuff but I didn't like the fact my stuff wasn't sold in the shop I took them to because I wasn't gift aid so now I always see if anyone what's them for free on Facebook first

We take bits to our local shop and if there’s a sign saying basically no room there are lots of shops in the nearest town.

I take stuff to charity shops and buy stuff from charity. I use ecycle as well.

A house clear and donations are always good.Keep things moving about.These are clothes dumped in the Atacama desert in Chile.The price of fashion!

I do have a good clear out every so often and donate to my local charity shops, I have also sold items on Marketplace quite successfully.

I know it sounds dreadfully mean but I am having a drive sale next weekend with a friend. With money so tight at the moment a few pounds will be welcome.

I have become rather cynical and untrusting over the years and in the past have known people who have collected items for charity and kept best bits for themselves.

Yeah I always give stuff to charity shops, no point having stuff cluttering the house if it never gets used. If you do decide to donate please take it to your local charity shop and not those bags that they push through the door. In a lot of cases the bag’s through door companies are for profit and only donate a % (it’s written on the bag how much they give)

I do donate, but must admit unless is something particularly nice, I put it into black bags and use the charity bins in my local supermarket car park rather than take it into the shop, as its more convenient. But I will definitely do another de-clutter before Christmas, of books etc. which I will take into the local hospice charity shop

I use to donate, now l just put things outside where l live with a sign saying Free help yourself...

I only donate clothing made of natural materials to people in Africa, via a small charity who collect, ship and deliver directly to people in need.

I donate my old clothes to either Cancer research or our local hospice shops.

,Yes I donate my unwanted items to charity shops. I hate wasting things and when I have a clear out I if find items that have hardly been used. I couldn’t throw them in bin so feel good knowing someone else can get use out of them . You can get some great bargains in charity shops because we’ve all done it . We see something in the shop and we just have to have it ! I mean it’s half price and how have we lived our lives up until now without this special item. We buy it so happy with our bargain priced ”must have” item , only to wear it once (if lucky). Then it sits at back of wardrobe awaiting that special occasion when it’ll be ideal (it never comes ).I got a bit carried away with my story there . So the point being a lot of times you find items that are almost brand new (sometimes they are ,still have tags on ), where people have bought something on impulse, that never gets used .

I sell things online on fb marketplace if they are in Like New condition and barely worn. Don't ask for a lot but get a bit back. Otherwise I donate it to a local charity that helps families in need.

Salvation army..is the best bet to donate they never get much attention or are appreciated...I have worked in charity shops in the past and you are lucky if your donations get onto the shop floor.

I sell a few key bits on vinted I know I can sell easily/ get a decent amount for. Anything else I pop in a charity bin at the supermarket near me.

I regularly donate cloths to charity. At least this will help for needy people.Everyone should do their bit

Yes I love to donate to charity I gave a lot to the Ukraine charity appeal when that happened spent my monthly food shop of loads of items from aldi it always makes you feel good if you can help others out iam like you my clothes have shrunk must be our vaulty washing machines lol iam really needing to have a clear out also

I donate as much as I can to local charities and most times come out with one or two items. Always fun as you never know what you will find.
