Unopened tins/jars of food that's past BB date.. can I donate these anywhere?

Following a kitchen clearance for somebody I have tins/jars of food that's past best before date(some well past- 2015 is the oldest). Obviously all unopened. I've taken what I'd eat but the rest I don't have a use for. Is there anywhere I could donate these? Would hate to throw away. Things like ginger preserve, rice pudding, prunes, pouches of stir fry sauces..

Ginger preserves I'll take the risk :-)
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
You can ask the foodbank but generally they have to stick to in date. I completely agree with you about tins. They never die IMO!
I was going to suggest this too, I've given a few bits away before on there past BB dates.
