Baby clothes (birth onwards)

Hi, We are parents of two girl aged 14 weeks & 2years, As the children are getting older we have clothes that they have outgrown.
Does anyone know of anywhere that these Clothes will be of good use, all are in good condition and some have'nt been worn and still got the labels on.
We would rather donate to a charity than give to a local charity shop.
thanks

    You've got a few options here. You could contact your local women's refuge, they often need children's clothes because sometimes the women have to leave with nothing - see https://www.refuge.org and ring the number listed on the site, they'll be able to direct you. You can also try local homeless shelters.

    You could also sell the goods on ebay and donate the money to charity - there's an option to sell for charity, it's dead straight forward. Brand new with tags clothes sell especially well.

    Given the age of your youngest, I presume you're in contact with a Health Visitor.....I pass my kids' clothes on to mine and she always finds a good home for them

    Thanks for all the replys

    unfortunaly refuge don't offer this service in n/wales , we emailed the welsh equivilent and they never replyed (good eh!)
    as for a car boot and donate to charity we havn't quite got enough at the moment.
    I think the best bet is to ask our health visitor as the clothes will be outgrown a few at a time

    Thanks
