Do charities take electrical goods or is that too problematic for them?

Try phoning them up and asking them. I'm sure I've seen them in the Heart Foundation

Some of them have dedicated electrical shops (BHF definitely, as Jay-ell said). You might be able to donate to your local shop and have it sent on to one of the dedicated ones. You could also look into charities that pass goods on directly to people on low incomes/the disabled/people moving into halfway houses from care or prison etc.Comment

The problem with electrical goods is that they need to be PAT tested before they can be resold. Unless there is the volume, they are unable to provide the service. Some charities have a PAT tester so it is just a case of calling round them all.
The other option is to recycle it on Freecycle or similar. Will be gone before you can blinkComment

In our area it depends on the size of the Charity shop, our local Barnardos takes electrical goods but Age Concern is a very small shop so its a no there.Location....East Midlands.Comment

BHF definitely do, as others have suggested. Think I've seen a Salvation Army shop that sold electricals. It does vary though.Comment
