I haven't come across this but on Twitter your charity's profile and any other user profile are just that, users of the platform, regardless of the followers you have. If the image/tweet you re-tweeted came from a public profile (which I assume is the case since you can't RT private profiles), then the initial tweet would be subject to Twitter's privacy policy, not your charity's. Therefore, I imagine that if they have a problem with you having re-tweeted something, it doesn't have anything to do with GDPR. If we had to ask for informed consent to re-tweet, Twitter wouldn't exist.
Other social media platforms might be different. On Facebook, for example, it is probably not a good idea to share posts from a personal timeline to a page. But again, if the content is public, in theory, you are protected if you share it.
Etiquette: I suppose the question is whether you should be asking for permission to re-share/re-tweet certain things. I think if a post/image seems quite personal, I might ask the user if it's okay to re-share it.
