Give it some Welly

Tonight, we were back at the West End Refugee Service finishing off the cupboard tidy which 6 goodgymers led by Charlotte started last week. Well done to Tom and Sam who were super dedicated and helped both weeks!

Task owner Hazel met us and gave us an introduction to WERS, what we were going to be doing and were the gloves and hand sanitiser was.

The aim was sorting through donations which have being sitting there during lockdown and sort them into bags of different types of items (ladies tops, mens bottoms, mixed baby clothes etc), removing any damp or damaged goods.

Tom who was familiar with where the donations were from the week before led the charge pulling out bags of unsorted donations out the cupboard for us to root through and put in the most appropriate bag, which we labelled a swe went along.

Dan found a very fetching hat. Me and Louise debated the use of a donations of an M&S uniform. Michael was having loads of fun with various random things he found. We all felt sad we could only find one tiny Gruffalo welly and wondered were the other one could possibly be!

Once everything was correctly sorted, we moved all the suitable and sorted donations back inside as last weeks group had filled the garage. We also put all the unsuitable item back in the cupboard so they could be collected to be binned.

Hazel was very happy we managed to finish sorting all the donations and how commented how much time it saved compared to having one person sort through all the donations. Hopefully we will be back to help out again soon!
