Do You Donate to Charity Shops?

Do you donate to charity shops and if yes what sort of items do you give away for free?
I found £20 on the pavement today and immediately gave it to a charity collector. Don’t even know what they were collecting for Didn’t want to have second thoughts so did it as fast as possible
I used to donate all my clothes to charity every 6-8 months but now I tend to sell my clothes on Depop. I need the money and I firmly believe, charity starts at home. I tend to give a lot of change to homeless people now instead because I like to see who my money is going to and who its helping.
My mum regularly made us do a toy and clothing clear out and take it to the charity shop. Last time I got rid of clothes I took them to the clothing bank at the local recycling centre, alongside shoes and cuddly toys. The charities then come and collect the items. I haven't taken anything to the charity shop in years
I try and donate to charity shops as much as possible, id rather donate/pass on than throw in the bin. I always say someone else's trash can be someone else's treasure
I do whenever I can (mainly clothing). I am also currently volunteering at a charity shop.
Yes we do. I can’t be bothered with advertising items on eBay and the like. I prefer to give decent things to charity shops to make a little cash. When my father in law died and we had to clear out his property there was a newish microwave and washing machine, charity shops wouldn’t collect so they were free cycled.
Yes, I do donate to charity shops, in fact this week I found out they no longer accept CDs.
It's normally household goods, books, clothes which are in very good condition. I give other clothing, which are not nearly new to the charity collection points in super market car parks
I try and reuse as much as possible. I'm always popping into the charity shop. Their is so much waste with kids . So I either give it away free or reuse it x
Ive given all my baby things that she's doesn't need anymore as I'm not going to use them again as for my oldest daughter things I ask someone in my family do they want them first of not then if take them to the shop
Yes I donate to the Cats Protection League shop in Street as its close to the car park so not far to walk with the bags of crap or should I say quality merchandise. Typically it would be clothes, oddments, dvds, books, magazines etc. Just building up another bag of crap at the moment. They probably use about 40% of what I give and the rest probably goes in the bin. I do give away some decent bits and pieces though that I can't be bothered to sell amongst the stuff.
i used to always donate my clothes to charity shops but know i try to sell them first because i’d rather get the money myself so i can then help people i know
I usually donate clothes that I have out grown. I keep them for a while convincing myself I will get back into them.
I donate all my clothes I no longer use and any other items I’m getting rid or replacing. Some have labels on them and it’s always the Salvation Army I donate too as they use all items you donate. Either reselling, giving to unfortunate people or recycle the material.
Yes I do but we don't often have things worth taking. We keep wearing clothes until they fall apart, wearing them for gardening etc. I have taken some more formal clothing that we will probably not wear again. Our local shops are fussy about what they'll take now too.
I do sometimes if I can't pass them on to someone or sell it but I feel many are just businesses now so I don't donate nearly as much as I use to.
I find some of the charity shop staff are too fussy eg asking me the brand names if any or accept a donation without any acknowledgement.
I give them to the food bank charity shops charge more than primark even when the clothes are from primark
Each week we take something to the charity shop . From collecting on our local free sites to our children recycling there clothes and donating to there choice of charity shops .Its mainly clothes but we have donated board games ,toys and clothes .
