To have thought I'd have my arm bitten off!

[Gimmesomemore]

Over the past few months we've had a massive house de-clutter, and I'm looking for a new home for lots of childrens toys, books and clothes. Some unopened/unworn, and in good condition.

I've just rang the council who had no idea of any places that might want/need them. But suggested I call the local citizens advice bureau.

The lady at cab who I spoke to, said in a really disinterested voice "I don't know....." So I ended the call saying I'll have a look on the internet.

I thought (possibly stupidly) that a local women's refuge may have need for these sort of items, or families that find themselves suddenly homeless.

Aibu to think that this should have been a much easier task? Or where shall I donate it all?

One person rubbish really is somone elses tat then tanith

Find it quite sad that people seam to need a pat on the back for their 'de cluttering' - give it to a charity shop - forget it :)

I wounde if it was more - we don't deal with that sort of thing than actual rudeness and agree with Tanith - sorting and storage very often cost more in time than its worth for most refuges - money buys what the women /children need - when they need it

British heart foundation
They are ace, took 6 boxes of books and a mattress from me this week and gave me a gift aid card - I can log in at any time and see how much my donations have raised
They came to the house to take everything, very efficient, gave me delivery time etc
