We have a large number of adult and children's books, children's toys,
videos, ornaments, mirrors etc all in good condition which  we would
like to give to charity. It is too much to take to a small charity
shop. Is there a major charity around Surrey, England who would collect or
we could take all this to? About enough to fit in a large van. Thanks

Hello guincho:

Thanks for the question. 

I agree that with that volume of goods to donate, you need a major
charity. I have done some searching for you and have found two good
candidates. Both have outlets/stores in the Surrey area as well as
many, many other stores throughout the UK. While these individual
Surrey stores may not be large enough to house all your donated goods,
they will have a distribution network for moving goods between stores.

British Red Cross - Red Cross shops 
Quote: "There are over 370 British Red Cross shops across the UK,
making them a familiar sight on many high streets. Our shops sell
second hand clothes and other items, with all the profits going
towards our work in the UK and overseas.
You can support our shops in the following ways:
Donating clothes and other items:
Clear out your cupboards and give us your unwanted clothes, books, CDs
and household goods. Good quality items are worth more money, but we
can also sell damaged clothing for rag, so nothing is wasted.
Recycling in this way helps both the Red Cross and the environment."

Please try these two organizations. If they do not work out for you,
let me know in a clarification and I'll try again.
