Our visit to the Richmond Furniture Scheme saw five Good Gymer’s ready to deliver and rise to the challenge that Simon of RFS would present us with.

We were tasked with clearing the ivy and sand bags, the latter had been been there for the past few years. This clearance was so that RFS could begin to get access around the side of the building.

We set about chopping back the ivy and roots with large loppers, which yours truly and Sam used, before subsequently using synchronised spades to remove the excess sand, this was mainly done by JP and Chris, and through clever thinking from Rosie, deliver it onto the furniture removal trolleys.

Credit must also go to Rosie for the amazing pun!

Anyway, following numerous back and forth trips and through a lot of hard graft, we were eventually successful in removing the sand and deliver what was asked. A job well done
