Car Boot Sale
Jumble Sale
Once an ubiquitous use of church village and school halls but now rarely seen so prime for a come back. They need a venue with tables, a lot of volunteers and a lot of donated items. They can be great community events and an excuse to get collecting donated items. There do tend to be a lot of unsold items so regular sales or done in conjunction with other selling methods may be necessary
Online Selling Platforms

all too easy just to drop them off off at a local charity shop But that means small charities like Labrador Welfare miss out entirely
You can change that
Make sure that you’re donated items benefit your charity by selling them yourselves & donating the proceeds.

It may cost you a little more time and a effort but if you want to help the Labrador Welfare dogs rather than the most convenient charity its well worth it
