Is anyone doing charity collections at the moment?

I have loads of good quality stuff that I want to give to charity, have three kids four and under so it’s hard to get high quantities of stuff into the shops. I have in the past had bags from the British Heart Foundation collected, but they’re not doing that at the moment. Local baby bank isn’t taking donations now. Have emailed a few people I found online but no one has got back to me. Understand why, but really trying to reduce how many things we own in a vague attempt for life to feel less chaotic (only giving away decent stuff), does anyone have any ideas or know of anyone taking stuff right now? Thanks for any tips!

Do you have any freshly/free cycle groups in your area. Quite a few people get the stuff free then sell on, but if that doesn't bother you, it's an option.

People near me have been leaving stuff outside on a sat am with a note saying help yourself. I'm having a clear out at the weekend and am going to try this myself.
