There was a double good deed for the taking and Sam was glad Abie, Benjamin, Daryl, Emma and Paulin took up on the offer after the group run.

The TRAID session is usually a group run activity, but since they were trailing out new operating times (closing at 20:00 and not 19:00), this ended up being a community mission AFTER a group run. We met Lindy and Mabel (store manager) in the TRAID as we hurriedly cleared the store.

Our tasks involved taking the clothes off the hangers, putting the clothes in the big boxes, packing away the hangers, cleaning the rails and hoovering the floor. Within seven, we managed to clear the store and clean it partially in 45 minutes!

It was a sad end to the session as Sam was informed by Mabel that it would be her last clear-up with us as she is moving on to pastures new. We wish her all the best with her new adventure in life!

As for TRAID Peckham, we'll be back in November/December time!
