when my mother passed away we took a lot of her clothes to a Barnardos charity shop, I chose that shop because they are not over priced. That raised £146, which I was pleased and surprised about.
Other items such as brand new underwear, toiletries , new nightwear , we took to the care home where she had spent her last few weeks of life.
I also cleared out the wardrobe in my spare bedroom and gave the clothes that belonged to my grandsons that they no longer wore ( I bought them) to Barnardos charity shop.
Old but good school uniforms go up to the charity shop near the school.
Some clothes, books games etc that they've outgrown, I give to a young woman who is very grateful for them.
other items around my house such as ornaments, nic naks, CDs, DVDs, unworn make up , I donate the to a local cat charity - where the items are auctioned/sold off to raise funds.
I have actually been into some charity shops where they have been selling clothes for more than the new price!
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
