Gear4Guides maybe - though the real issue they have is getting the kit to where it's useful.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Some company collects old skis, refurbishes them, and sells them to snowheads who do not want to use their own skis on Scottish pistes. (or rents them)
I have seen some such companies in Albertville trying to flog second hand skis in shopping malls. (mostly kids skis, or blades for those who cannot tell the difference)

The charity shops around here sell them, seemingly without problem.
As long as they don't look them up and see price £X and think they are going to get that value. Priced "to go" someone will take them and at least they'll end up with someone that wants them.
Was in a independent clothes shop the other day and they had a few pairs for shop dressing along with miscellaneous other sporting hardware that no longer has a realistic use. Looked pretty good too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Allenheads ski club might take them. They have a shed of donated skis n boots (some are from the ark) that they "rent" out for a nominal donation of £5. It gives complete beginners the chance to try it out without breaking the bank.
Although this year they're having to halt that due to covid safety but I expect they'd be greatful of them anyway.
