Daryl, Gemma, John, Lindy, Paulin and Sam met the TRAID team in Peckham straight after they closed their store at 20:00 to help them clear out the store to be ready for the Spring collection.

Everyone got stuck in with the task of clearing the clothes rails of clothes and hangers, but since Sam came earlier he was given the task to wipe the tops of the hanging lights of dust. It hadn't been done since November, but it looked like it hadn't been done for years with the amount of dust! 😳

We managed to finish our tasks with five minutes to spare! Well done team 💪

Firstly, a very warm welcome to Julia and Ruth who came for their first ever GoodGym session! They both came early as the GROAD volunteers were setting up the main room with tables and clothes rails.

Closer to the start time of 13:00, Claire and Ivar arrived too and helped the team empty Shed 2 and the porch area of all the donations that came last weekend and throughout the week.

Once all the items were in the main room, we started sorting them out into categories. Ruth took on the children's toys, Claire and Ivar hung up men's and women's clothes whilst Julia helped with putting out children's clothes and other assortments. Sam kept the place tidy and took in the new donations that were generously donated by the public. These items were stored away in Shed 2 for next week.

By the hour, we still had a few more boxes and bags to open, so Sam asked kindly to get anyone who could stay to stay an extra half hour to finish off the task.

Kudos to all for coming and volunteering on a Sunday afternoon. Appreciate your time 😊

Olivia and Sam met up with all the parkrun volunteers to assist and support the running of this 2k course.

Olivia was in charge if giving out the Finish Tokens whilst Sam was on timekeeping duties.

Just under 100 kids, 97 to be exact, came through the finish line. With 10 new starters too.
