Three GoodGym volunteers were on a mission to sort, hang and cube as many clothes as we could in 2hrs. We were on fire, so much was achieved in a short space of time and of course a lot of laughs were had! I absolutely love buying secondhand clothes and here’s why: - It extends the life of that garment (I don’t want it going to landfill) - It’s so much cheaper (I picked up a leopard print River Island skirt today of £1!) - It reduces the demand for fast fashion (fast fashion can mean unfair wages and poor working conditions) - It saves resources (which helps the environment) - You have a unique wardrobe!

All adult clothes are £1 at Naomi House & Jacks Place charity shop - enjoy!
