Are there charities that give mobile phones direct to people?

There seem to be a lot of charities that take mobiles for "cash" reward but I can't find any that will give mobiles to people that need them. Is it just too expensive or something or do any exist?

Your local refugee support organisation will be happy to take them.

Many women's refuges will be happy to accept a donated mobile phone, also spare SIM cards

Thanks for the suggestions, I looked up the worth of a working phone I have and out of three websites only one said it was worth anything at all and the other only £1 ! It makes more sense if it's possible to give the phone to someone who could use it.
