Donating duvets to charity
I have two virtually new single duvets in their covers to dispose of and am having difficulty finding a suitable charity to give them to as two charity shops I've approached told me "put them in the recycling bin" as they're not allowed to take them. This is such a waste and I won't do this. Does anybody know of a national…

Rules on collection bags
Hi folks, I was wondering what the rules are regarding these charities who put collection bags through your door? I've asked the Charities Commission, but they're being their usual kind of vague and (they think they're) helpful selves, so I thought I'd ask the wise peeps on MSE. Many thanks, MothballsWallet

Sounds like a great idea, that charities get a percentage from the value of high-street gift cards that you buy, but the old-fashioned look of the site makes me nervous about giving them my details, and they don't…
