Where to donate kid's toys

[Gad-Westy]

We have had a big sort out of kid's toys this weekend. Loads of teddies, toys and games that seem far too good to bin but I'm struggling to find some where to donate to. We're in the North East but more generally , does anyone know of any national charities accepting donations like this at present?

We donated ours to a local charity (Newcastle dog and cat shelter) which they sold in their store.

National charities often weigh stuff in or sell it abroad.

Most charity stores the staff have first pick though so that’s a chance.

We also donated some bits to the local women’s refuges in Sunderland and Newcastle and they were greatly received. The wife had to take them though (for obvious reasons).

Cheers alorotom. I'll follow those options up. I suspect a big issue at the moment will be finding somewhere that is open for delivery or pick up at present. It may well have to wait until December but could do with getting everything out of the way now it's all sorted and boxed up.

We donated a load of old child toys, bedding etc. To the local food bank.
