Two goodgymers helped at community clothes swap. We liberated dresses, shorts and lots of other clothes from previous owners and created some new clothes joy :).

into March already and another Acomb Clothes Swap. To spice things up this month, we were asked to cover the hot drinks as well as putting out clothes so both me and Penny spent some time in the kitchen preparing coffees, teas and squash.

It was Max's first time at the clothes swap but he was in his element. With a relatively small turnout of customers, putting out clothes assumed a competitive edge as we all tried to get the clothes as soon as they were on the hangers. It meant we also had plenty of time to catch up and drink tea and biscuits 😁

After an hour and a half with the customers dropping off we went our separate ways. Penny and Leanne even got to take home a few finds to refresh their spring wardrobes.

Back at the clothes swap once again for more sorting, stock rotation and generally keeping the venue looking good. Our team of three was able to keep things running smoothly as a steady stream of swappers came through the doors and exchanged their clothes.

Into 2024 and another GoodGym visit to help out at the Acomb Clothes Swap.

With four of us and a good number of non-GG volunteers we were able to get the clothes out quickly and keep things tidy despite the larger turnout. It was Penny's first time at the clothes swap but she got straight into it once she eventually found where it was!

With it being the quietest clothes swap for a while, we were able to work at a much more leisurely pace than usual. Much tea was drunk.

The first Saturday of the month meant we were back at the Acomb Community Clothes Swap.

As usual we were tasked with keeping the stock rotating by getting the newly donated items out onto the rails and generally keeping things neat and tidy. The swap was incredibly busy with people queuing out the door for most of the morning.

Whilst Leanne was unable to find a suitable party dress for the festive season, Jenna went home with a beautiful velvet garment to rework into a cape for her upcoming drama production.
