Traid is a charity promoting reducing waste by championing second-hand fashion while raising funds to support global projects improving the lives of workers in fashion industry and preventing child labour.

On sunny Monday evening, a slightly smaller than usual group of GoodGymers joined the Traid team in their Shepherd's Bush store for the seasonal packdown of the old stock. The neighbouring GoodGym areas: Hounslow, Ealing and Hammersmith & Fulham sent one person each to help remove the light and colourful spring clothes and make space for even more vivid summer outfits. Jalal, Pippa and Kash, despite being only a trio, nearly doubled the pairs of hands involved in the operation!

In less than 70 minutes all the clothes landed in massive cardboard boxes destined to be sent to the warehouse, and all the hangers - in bags. The whole Traid team was extremely grateful to the GoodGym team for making their big packdown evening much shorter - such lovely people! A the GoodGymers? What legends!
