Actually Tim, perhaps it would be better for Milti to take his late wife's clothes to Cyprus and give them away to charity there. :idea:

Wait a minute, we are talking about clothes in the UK. Forget the above, but maybe there is something similar over there.

No, it wasn't about that. It was more to do with his late wife being buried in Cyprus!

Sure is, though I'm not sure if this one is supposed to be "Clothing bank" or "Lo(a)thing bank"

[quote="supporttheunderdog"]Charity shops?[/quoteMy
My son took everything to a charity shop for St Christopher's Hospice, my wife had spent 3 weeks at this hospice.
An excellent charitable concern, staffed mostly by volunteers.
