Does anyone know of any UK (or anywhere for that matter) based charities specializing in provision of musical instruments?
I've two reasons for asking - firstly I've got a couple of mandolins that I was thinking of selling but thought I could give away to a good cause instead, and secondly, there are a lot of cheap, neglected instruments out there that just need a bit of setting up so they could be used to get someone making music. I'm sure there are a few folks like me out there with the time & skills to set these up for free.
Seems like a nice idea to me but I don't know how to go about it the right way...
