Could you look into whether any big organisations do something that you could be part of instead? I don't know much about it but don't Round Table do a lot of fundraising for charities? Could you be part of that instead of doing something very complicated on your own?0

The biggest (and most obvious?) problem with this idea for me is that I wouldn't donate stuff to a "charity" shop if I didn't know who the proceeds were going to benefit.

We are fortunate enough to have The Good exchange locally. They run "pitch to the panel" to decide which charity gets a handout. Meanwhile they do matched funding, anything like this in your region? And I agree with the above poster. I like to donate to shops that do gift aid. https://thegoodexchange.com/0
