Amy, Robert and Juli met in the pretty Berkshire village of Bray to help Clean Conscience by distributing leaflets to residents. This was GoodGym's third leaflet dropping mission for the charity. It was lovely to be out in the fresh air, and armed with gloves and hand sanitiser we made safe and speedy work of the task. We all got our steps in for the day too: we ran 3.5km on the task, Juli also ran 6km in her round trip to and from our meeting point, Robert went for a post-task run, and Amy ran 7km on her way to and from another GoodGym session later in the day.

A bit more about the charity:

Clean Conscience works with the luxury hotel industry to save discarded hotel toiletries from landfill. Collected soap is sorted, sterilised, reshaped and distributed to those in need of sanitation both close to home and abroad. Recovered plastics are baled and sent for recycling. Their volunteers include groups with disabilities, who also benefit immensely from being able to contribute to a positive initiative.

Like so many other organisations, they are having to adapt during the Covid-19 pandemic. Whilst their hotel partners are largely closed, they are taking in donations of good quality clothes and other items. These are then either distributed to the charity's beneficiaries or sold in a lovely pop-up boutique that they have set up at their unit here at Thimble Farm Business Park.

You can find out more about this fantastic charity by reading the leaflet we were dropping (in the photos for this report) and by visiting and following their Facebook page here.
