It's getting swap in here, so exchange all your clothes

Saturday 1st August

Written by James

Three regulars GG volunteers at the clothes swap this month helped ensure another successful event with clothes sorted and hung, drinks served and everything out away in record time at the end.

Post-swap we had lunch with the rest of the team and enjoyed an afternoon of spa treatments that left us looking radiant. I've never left a GoodGym task smelling better 😁

Clothes-ing time

Friday 31st July

Written by James

Just the two of us tonight for this one but it was quality not quantity for Leanne's last GG task before she jets if to Africa to climb a big rock.

We made light work of the task and left the place with everything ready for the morning.

👗 Dress to impress 🎩

Saturday 4th July

Written by Nicky Woodall (she/her)

👕 7 lovely GoodGymmers came to help at the clothes swap this month. Some of us came straight from parkrun, for our second volunteering stint of the day. Some came out of purely altruistic ambitions, answering the pleas that the clothes swap were short of their volunteers today. (Some may have had an additional alterior motive for some this month, in looking for an outfit suitable for a wedding (parkrun), lurking around the sparkly rail.) Success was had in both senses - we did lots of helping and outfits were found.

🍰 Vicky had both her work and GoodGym hats on today, selling some (delicious) cake to raise money for York Carers Trust.

⏰ The hour passed quickly and it was soon time to head off, safe in the knowledge that we've hopefully saved some clothes from landfill.

👏 Thank you everyone!

Swap in the name of love

Saturday 6th June

Written by James

A ridiculously large turnout from GoodGym at the clothes swap this month with Pete making his first visit and Antonia making a welcome return. Good to see Issy back again as well.

The clothes swap volunteers were also there in force which meant we could enjoy a more relaxed morning than last month's chaos 😁

Lots of fun was had and Pete, Claire and me all walked away with outfits for upcoming festivities.
