My clients main website url is a .com and we've just moved it from one hosting provider to another and totally redesigned his site - it's now much simpler has only a few pages whereas the original had tons - I've implemented a htaccess file with 301 redirects for all the pages from the old site to the new, but not sure what to do about his .org .co.uk and .eu domains - how do I redirect from these?

Advise them to let the .org lapse if it's not a non-profit.

Simple: .com and the regional equivalents denote a commercial site. .org and the regional equivalents denote a non-profit site. There's no valid circumstance where redirecting one to the other would be kosher.
