Clothes recycling

I've had a wardrobe clearout - mysteriously many of my clothes appear to have shrunk while I wasn't wearing them - I can't understand it!Anyway from the several charities offering to collect unwanted garments (and shoes) I chose https://redonate.uk/.  I'm very impressed - I got a next day collection with the driver tracked to my door, right on time. Others may be as good, but I'd certainly use redonate again should the need arise - though I'm trying my best to prevent that happening....

Did you have to have a minimum amount for a collection?It is a shame that so many charity shops closed during the pandemic as it also means they are not there for people who need clothing.The Upper Room at St Saviours Church Wendell Park  Cobbold Road W12 in Hammersmith always seem to be on the lookout for mens' clothing in particular.They tweeted this urgent appeal yesterday:https://twitter.com/UpperRoomOrg/status/1676952880916602880?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet donations@theupperroom.org.ukwww.theupperroom.org.uk

If I had realised I would have happily given the clothes to the Upper Room — I'll certainly do so next time. I'm not sure how appropriate the dinner suit will prove to be, but you never know! There doesn't seem to be any minimum level for donations, but I suppose common sense would dictate that. However the clothes should be of decent quality.

Re:  the dinner suit - The Upper Room used to have an Ebay shop.  I don't know if they still do but lots of charities I believe do.
