Is there any guide as to what charity shops can use?  Will they sell clothes without labels for instance?  I cut all my labels out as the fabric irritates my skin but then there is no size or washing instructions.  Anybody out there who can help?

Charity shops will take any clothing..what they can't sell in their shops to the public they sort out and sell as rags to the trade. 
There are regulations about sale of electrical goods in charity shops - they have to be tested before sale, and I believe they can only sell upholstered furniture if it has a kite-mark to show it is fire retardent. I don't however, know of any regulations about clothing. I used to volunteer in a local charity shop, and if there was no label we would guess at the size. And as teddy says, the shop sold anything it couldn't sell as a garment, as rags, and made decent money from that. I am sure your local shop will gladly accept your unwanted clothes, even without the labels.
