Clothes bank
Hi everyone,
i have and a huge pile of nearly new or new boys clothes aged 10-11, jeans, tracksuits, shorts, T-shirt’s, swimwear - can anyone recommend a clothes bank I can drop this off to? I live in Esuri so if anyone knows of anywhere close by I will drop off in next couple of weeks.
Thanks

There used to be a clothing bank in the row of recycling bins by El Jamon store opposite the fish market.

I actually dont recall seeing a 'charity shop' around our area. Whereas every high street in the UK seems to have them, it would be good to get these clothes to a good home.
I found this on the web . https://www.thelocal.es/20160712/zar...st-off-clothes

Don’t put them in the recycle bins expecting them to go to charity they get robbed. There is a shop on the slope up to St Augustus’s church on the left at the bottom of the steps. Also Caritas recycle pre used clothes to the needy. There is a collection point for food and maybe clothes at the back of Adultas Education opposite the Emergencias.

Re: Clothes bank
Even if they do get taken from the recycle bin they are still being recycled :-) How I could have forgotten about the charity shop in town I don't know ! I must have given them 40 loads of household things since Dec.

Re: Clothes bank
The bins are tamper proof though, you put the clothes in a bin, that swivels and when you close the door they are upended and fall underneath, leaving the bin empty. The clothes are inaccessible. However I suppose if people are desperate enough they could find a way. Ive never considered it before.
Good to hear that there is a charity shop in town and accept products
