Hi, Dave …
Just to approach this another way… do your and/or your mum have a personal favourite charity (AS excepted!!!). Could you give them a call (at local or HO level) to check if they can collect or, if not, do they have any links with someone who can ?
(In my own work for a charity I often get enquiries from people wishing to donate household items which our ‘shops’ can’t handle…. On a local level we refer people to an organisation who CAN (collect and then redistribute to people who really benefit). The value of people (often those re-establishing themselves after being in ‘Homeless Families’ situations) receiving the goods far outweighs the ‘second hand value’ that the charity could achieve if it were to sell. Just an idea.....
Lovely thought, Dave. Well done you to make the time and effort with everything else you’ve got on your plate!!!
Best of luck to you …., big hug and keep keeping us up-dated!
Love, Karen (TF), x
