Thanks very much for all your responses - there wasn’t an immediate response, so I didn’t think anyone had a solution. It’s difficult: we don’t really want the clothes to be sold or to raise money for causes. If that were the case, we would donate to a charity shop. (Although we have done this, on many occasions.) We would like the items to directly benefit individuals and families in need: if someone needs something they can just have it, in the same way that food bank users needing groceries receive a package of essentials - except there would, of course, be choice regarding the items of clothing they took with them. I’m certain that this has been done with school uniform and (unless I imagined it) there’s a scheme for helping people going back into the workplace with suitable clothing. This is the sort of thing we have in mind. It’s a better thing, I think, than pushing more clothing onto overloaded charity shops and/or creating landfill. Direct action - lovely. Once again, if anyone has any ideas, a steer would be very welcome. Thank you.
