Three impeccably dressed Goodgymmers spent the morning helping out at the Acomb Clothes Swap.

Jenna was very pleased to see us with people already queuing out the door so we got to work straight away putting out the clothes people had brought and tidying up the rails. Time flew by as the stock and customers kept coming, with many items not even making it to the rail before people took them from us.

The other volunteers kept supplied with tea and cakes but my offer to exchange a slightly sweaty GoodGym t-shirt was politely declined.

After two hours of non stop work, the swappers finally started to disperse. Jenna thanked us for our efforts and said the swap would not have been able to go ahead without us.
