Refuges.....

[catherinea1971]

Inspired by a very brave mumsnetter who has had to flee an extremely abusive relationship this past week I would just like to ask the kind people on this board to consider sending any of their unwanted/no longer needed belongings such as kids/womens clothes, toys and any unwanted toiletry gifts you may have.

These refuges run on very little and everything donated can be of use to women and their children hoping to take back their lives following abuse.

Just bumping.....thought that this time of year when many of us are having massive clearouts that a refuge would be a good place to donate...

How/where do you donate things for a refuge? I think it is a great idea, and would love to donate, but I don't know where any are (for obvious reasons).

You can contact the local WA committee by phone then arrange a drop off. Obviously they do not reveal the whereabouts of the Refuge. In my area they organised a collection through our church and we supplied toys, bikes, garden play equipment as well as clothes.

Great idea!

An excellent idea, thanks :)
