Totally agree with you PICKY

I am sure most charities do provide a much needed service. I do not feel it appropriate to name the charities I contacted. However:


FYI, one of the charities I contacted recycle goods (for free) to the needy. In my humble opinion this sofa would have been very much appreciated by someone in need and it is a shame the charities I contacted did not share my view.


PS: The lady who bought this sofa was delighted with her purchase and was very surprised it was so cheap. I only asked £10 which I subsequently donated to the Macmillan coffee morning which I helped to organise for our church.

I know when we got our present leather sofa we gave our last leather one to a place that does them up which employ disabled people who then sell on to customers and those on benefits get a slight reduction. Hardly out wrong with old one just wanted a different colour, it was old around 9 years but did have safety labels. We were pleased some one would benefit they even came to collect it.

The charity is being asked to commit to the wages of two strong men and a van for an hour, so say at least £30 plus the cost of storage space for a large item. Not surprising they are picky.

But I bet all the charities who take any sofas, put there hands done the back to what money / goodies they can find though.
