Although this is Sheffield Goodgym's shortest run, it packs a tall - but enjoyable - task. The common thread project, held at the coworking space on Union Street, is flooded with clothes donations of all kinds, from accessories to baby clothes to jumpers and skirts. We joined other volunteers helping the project by sorting clothes into specific piles to later sort into charity packages ("is it a top or is it a dress?!!"). Aided by some coffee and biscuits, we got through the adult clothes quickly and then moved on to sorting the kids clothes into age order. Overall, the task was very fun and it's great to see a noticeable difference and think towards all the people and projects these clothes will be helping in the future
