On the news this morning.  The British Heart Foundation is launching a campaign to replenish stock in its shops.  See their website:  http://www.bhf.org.uk/

Yes, I think I'll give this one a miss.I would prefer to support a charity shop.  I certainly know that the Oxfam music shop and FARA on Ealing Green are in need of donations.

Far too many 'charities' like this around.You can check the bona-fides of any UK charity by visiting the Charity Commission website on the link below.http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/This won't help you for Azzara which is, allegedly, a charity based in Lithuania.I say allegedly for the link below casts doubts over this and the activities of their agent.http://www.charitybags.org.uk/clothing_collections/clothing_collections_intersecond_azzara_do_not_delay.shtmlIMHO - avoid like the plague and spread the word, there are plenty of genuine UK charities worthy of your clothing donation many of whom work in eastern Europe if that is the are you wish to support.
