Hi everyone

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question.

I am in the UK and have been given a donation of Instillagel for a wildlife rescue registered charity I help with. They cant use them and I am trying to find people who do.

Can anyone help with suggestions please.

I'm sorry i can't help with your problem but it reminded me of this...

Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports that Indonesia is also struggling to deal with hundreds of tonnes of expired, damaged or inappropriate medicine donated after recent disasters.

About 100 tonnes of useless drugs donated after an earthquake last year off Nias island in western Indonesia have been incinerated this week, the report said. Medical authorities were lumbered with some 600 tonnes of unwanted pharmaceuticals after the tsunami, it adds, and a further 50 tonnes are also set to be destroyed following the Java earthquake.

According to Cosgrave, tsunami donations to Indonesia and Sri Lanka included silicone breast implants and Viagra.

Someone, somewhere is not thinking things through.

I worked with an American guy for a while who's wife was from Japan. Following the second world war they received aid from the US. Items included tons of cheese (they don't eat dairy), great big jars of mustard, and stilleto shoes.
