A crisp and much less windy evening saw 12 GoodGymmers turn up to help sort through the mountains of clothes etc at the Slough Refugee Support. For a while it seemed like we might have to turn our backs to the mountains as no key was found in the lockbox! A quick call to a mysterious Jason sorted that out and we were in. Our task was simple, sort the donated clothes into bags, and shoes and accessories into other bags. Our target was to get to 32 bags. Within the next hour, we sorted out 56 and only stopped because there were no more bags left! While some of the piles looked a lot smaller than before, there's still plenty to do when we go back.
