Charities/ Colleges needing fabric

I have a large quantity of dress/furnishing fabric of different types I need to get rid of. Does anyone know of a Charity or College in Acton/ Shepherd's Bush/ Hammersmith that might be able to use it for teaching or similar. I have tried Macbeth Centre in Hammersmith but they have no room to store it. Each piece is big enough to make a dress or, if a furnishing fabric, a cushion. I thought they could be used by dressmaking classes for practice.Thank you.

Hi Nina - your knitting wool would be much appreciated for the childrens jumpers my Mother-in-Law knits for charity.  Any wool she is unable to use will be passed to a knitting group who knit 'twiddle muffs' for Dementia Patients.  Please call me on 07984 802205 or email me joygriffiths@hotmail.co.uk Many thanks

seems a common problem I've got quite a lot of linen and cotton fabric suitable for embroidery, also embroidery threads available for anyone who can use them. And a small mountain of knitting wool, mostly odd ounces, but some larger quantities.Free to anyone who would like it.

I have a trunk full of mostly vintage fabrics that need a home too. Please let me know if you find somewhere, I will too.
