We, Mrs C and I, have had a clear out, old coats, trousers, shirts, skirts,blouses etc. Serviceable stuff that we no longer use.
Well rather than throw the lot out, Mrs C found a charity bag left for collection. The blurb on the bag promising to put the world to rights if we would only let them take our unwanted items. Fairynuff.
Being a suspicious so and so I looked up the company who do the collecting on-line, just to check they are legit. It seems they are but the site is a little sketchy on how the money is spent with just a couple of charities listed, one of which seems to be a local charity in South Wales.
There is a statement '
Our services are totally free and we return to our charities 70% of the income derived from the sale of goods donated by you.
At a quick glance it sounds reasonable. reading it a couple of time over I'm not so sure.
Am I better off dropping the stuff in with Oxfam or the RSPCA shop, or maybe stuffing it into the container ( for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance) next to the glass recycling things?
