Scoping Through Donations

1 GoodGymer made their way to help their local community in Birmingham.

I went along to Scope's charity shop in Walsall for the afternoon to help them sort through donations.

They have had such an influx recently that they have had to temporarily stop accepting them whilst they sort through the backlog.

The assistant manager and lead volunteer were happy to see me as it meant that one of the them could remain on the shop floor and serve customers, whilst the other could sort through bags full of donations and get clothes priced up. I helped by adding date and size labels, hanging the clothes and then putting them out on to the shop floor. At the end of the shift, I helped with the stock count and then headed home.
