Donating quality used clothing

Are there any charities which take quality used clothes? My mother passed away last month and my sister and I have the sad task of sorting through her clothes. She was a very smart lady with clothes from place like Viyella and Jacques Vert, some hardly worn. She also has a lot of hats. I don't want to donate to a local shop as I couldn't bear to see someone wearing her things,but I'd be willing to take them further away. She would want them to go to a good cause though and I know she supported Cancer Research UK and our local hospice and air ambulance. Any ideas gratefully received.

We donated my parents good quality clothes to the Salvation Army. They also collected decent items of furniture when we were clearing the house.
