Community mission

Sorting for Scope

2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Scope Charity in Birmingham.

  • Birmingham runner
  • Tousif

Led by Tousif

Tousif and I went along to the Scope charity shop in Walsall to offer some assistance, which was greatly appreciated as the shop (like many) has seen a surge in donations since they have re-opened.

After being introduced and shown the ropes, we got cracking with labeling up and hanging donations. I put the clothes on hangers and labeled them with the correct size etc., whilst Tousif kept track of donations and put them out for display on the shop floor.

We both learnt a lot about the procedures in our time there, including quarantining incoming donations and gift aiding, and it should put us in good stead for future missions.

As a closing point, it was great to see Tousif sporting his new black GoodGym t-shirt - congrats to him for passing 50 good deeds!
