TRAIDing places

Phew, what a mission! Every 3 months the TRAID volunteers empty the shop and replace with completely new stock. Me and Patrick turned up about 6pm and the store volunteers had already been working for an hour to clear the racks and bag up the clothes to go back to the warehouse. I helped with this task for a bit, then joined Patrick hauling bags of goods up from the basement. Once the bags were cleared we moved on the the HUGE boxes of new clothes and quickly mastered carrying a pile of clothes upstairs on both arms.

The store was very warm so it was hard work going up and down the stairs in the heat. Once we were finished we ventured to McDonald's to sample the new Tiramisu McFlurry, which I give 10/10. We were both heading straight to another task with Islington so it was a great energy boost.
