This super humid Saturday three of GG's finest went down to Hackney institution, St Joseph's Hospice to help with a big clean up after a big jumble sale

St Joseph's Hospice provide huge amounts of support, compassion and advice to guests when they, their families and friends are dealing with a serious life-limiting illnesses. However, they need to raise half their annual spend from donations and the periodic jumble sales provide valuable funds to enable the hospice to continue doing supporting so many people.

A big sale means a big clear up, but thankfully GoodGym are regulars in attendance to snap up a bargain then help with muscle!

Today, a small but mighty trio came down to help out by moving arts and bric-a-brac, clothes rails and toys. The stuff either went to:

  • St Joseph's Hospice's new shop across the road
  • Some went to the red shipping container in the garden
  • Some went to the πŸ—‘οΈ πŸ˜“

The heaviest things were definitely the art collection which we put in the red container of miscellany!

The SJH team offered refreshments and even beauty advice using coffee for hair and skin!

Look out for the next jumble sale and visit the shop at 77 Mare Street in the meantime!
