Re-Using Household Items - Charities & Voluntary Groups
Charity Begins At Home...
It's estimated that in homes across the UK there are over 400 million unused toys lying around and 2.4 billion items of unworn clothing hanging in wardrobes gathering dust and cluttering up our homes.
One Man's trash is another man's treasure...
Why not have a clear out, find new homes for all your unwanted items and support charity at the same time. The items you no longer want might be just what someone else is after.
Why not consider giving it away to one of the Charities or Voluntary Groups who have branches or collection points in our region who may be able to reuse many of your old household items:
