The blog will be publish at 9:30am on Monday. There are some organisations that may take these items. You could try Jacobs Well or Global Hand, they both have websites. Thanks. Claire.

One thing is that we always send standard, quality checked goods that we have pre-positioned in warehouses around the world. Organising a collection of donations from various sources would waste precious time. This is not my area of expertise so I will ask my colleague Claire Durham to blog about it to give you a fuller answer. All I can say for now is that if you would like to support the Red Cross work the best way to do so is to make a cash donation to the DEC appeal. http://www.dec.org.uk/donate_now/ Many thanks, Sarah Hi Gemma

Is there anyway we can donate this to help in Haiti? It seems such a waste to throw it all away (which is what the pharmacy will do!) when there are people in desperate need of it. Thanks Gemma Hi
