Once again GGWF found ourselves at the Traid store in Walthamstow looking to help packing away their end of summer clothing. Traid are a charity that helps to tackle the negative environmental effect of making, consuming and disposing of cloths, and try to promote sustainable fashion. After being greeted, briefed and shown the behind store areas for safe storage of personal items, kitchen and wc facilities...... we set about the task in hand. In no time at all we had managed to fill 2 1/2 large boxes with mixed clothing , not to mention the separation of the two types of hangers into boxes also. We had a few laughs along the way with my fashion sense ( but with the right accessories you can make magic happen ) and a certain young lady with terrible aim, but that's for another time ;-) Time soon came calling and we finished of our last rail of clothes before calling it a day. We had managed to accomplish a good amount in the time given which was very much appreciated and we shared a few laughs along the way... Until the next time, thanks everyone.... Ramon
