Scaling up fun and descaling kettles!

Sunday 21st November 2021

Written by Helen

Our EACH heroes this week were Jules, Dan and Marie! They teamed up with the regular volunteers at the charity shop for this Sunday morning community mission, rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in. Jules was on games duty - sorting and organising all the pieces, plus working hard in the kitchen, descaling the kettle and getting everything sparkling. Dan and Marie sorted through dozens of bags of clothing donations. Jules said they were warmly welcomed by Ray, the duty manager, who had jobs planned ready for them, and that the team were really grateful for their efforts. Huge thanks to Marie - well done on your first good deed! At the other end of the scale, Dan is closing in on 100 deeds! Woweee! Thank you to Jules for the fantastic photos, and for supporting EACH three times now. Amazing work all round.

Mystery Black Bag Mountain

Sunday 17th October 2021

Written by Helen

Jules and Dan had a fantastic Sunday morning at EACH today. They dived into the mystery mountain of donations, and sorted through them solidly, working really hard to put previously-loved items on sale, and previously over-loved items in the recycle bin, ready to be turned into new items elsewhere. While they were there, more donations came rolling through the door, so Julie, the shop manager was very grateful for their help, to keep on top of things. Look out for lots of additional, exciting items to buy, if you're passing the shop in the run up to Christmas - buy local, buy second hand, donate money to charity - what's not to love?! EACH are keen to welcome Goodgym again, so look out for more opportunities to sign up and get involved.

Delving through Donations

Sunday 26th September 2021

Written by Helen

EACH asked Goodgym to help sort donations at their charity shop. Jules, Stu and Helen were happy to oblige! Although despite working on the mountain of goodies that had been handed to the shop, for two hours, there was still plenty to do - but we'd made a small dent at least, and even some sales, from the items that Stu had priced up! 👍 😁 Thanks to Kellie and Rob for welcoming us to their team for this task, we really enjoyed it, and will be back!
