Local Charities that collect ?

hcar

I live in Penarth, have phoned a couple of charity shops to see if they collect items as I have a load of stuff to give. I have phoned 1 in Cardiff and they dont be Penarth as its in the Vale and I phoned 1 in Barry and they only collect here every 6 weeks as its on the edge of the Vale, but I'm moving in 4 weeks. I dont drive and so cant take the things to them.
So does any1 know any shop that collects in Penarth ? thanks

Why not 'freecycle' it - then they would collect from you,
very easy to join.

Thanks but I am looking to give the items to charity so if anyone knows it would be a great help

This Cardiff Charity does collect and deliver, although I don't know if they go as far as Penarth. Worth a call, though, if you have had no luck elsewhere:

Lewis Trust
Tel: 029 20494331 - 13a Clifton Street, Cardiff, Vale Of Glamorgan, CF24 1PX

there was a group called track2000 that was based in Bridgend and collects and then the things are given to those in need-also gets refurbished if needed.This was about 3yrs ago we gave some furniture and dont know phone number sorry! Also the Ty Hafan used to collect.Hope this helps a bit!

track 2000 will collect household items, but i believe they may charge to do so

Thanks everyone ! I phoned a few that I knew off the top of my head but for 1 reason or another they couldnt do it so I googled charities and phoned 1 by 1 till 1 said yes. So it was the red cross that got shoes,xmas tree,games,teddies etc etc
I am wanting to give more things away like pots pans plates, towels, bedding... do charities take this kind of stuff ?
