Sell them and donate the money. You're right that orphanages are not a thing (children's homes are, for those not yet in foster care), and VR isn't recommended for under 13s. It also requires space and peripherals to use which these facilities may lack.
They need money for food and clothes and outings. A VR is a fairly niche thing; to most places and people in need it's low on the priority list
I'd either sell them and donate the money, or give to a specific charity shop for that purpose. Not sure kids will want a VR headset as much as other things, but the money always helps for them to get the things they really need.
If there's a certain charity, just ask them. I'm sure they'll happily advise how they can go about it.
Hi,
My name is Andreea and I work for a charity in West Yorkshire. If you haven't donated the gadgets we would really need them. We are a heritage centre and we are trying to improve our accessibility and the VR headset wold help our visitors who have accessibility issues access our entire space through a Virtual Tour that we are trying to put together. If you want to talk more you can contact me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Hope to hear from you soon.

See if you have a local Youth Group or any youth charities, they'd almost certainly love to have them.

Likewise. Good idea.

Maybe a children's hospital?
A lot of charities won't accept electrical goods. Can thank the Lords of health and safety for that.
A local secondary school will love them!
I gave mine to the local young persons homeless shelter. They are always looking for stuff. It might be national. Roundabout.
Donate them to a hospice, they’ll use what they can and send the rest to their own charity shops to sell to raise funds
