Seven GoodGymers turned out for our monthly visit to the Richmond Furniture Scheme.
First off, we welcomed Alice, who was attending her first ever Richmond Good Gym task.
We were assigned by RFS’s Volunteer Coordinator Lucy to create a sitting area for the RFS staff to enjoy bench-ficial lunches in the upcoming summer months ahead.
With this in mind, we set about moving the donated bicycles into the recycling pile and to make it easier for them to be transferred to another charity, Re-Circulate, an organisation which train prisoners to refurbish bikes and equip them with technical skills that they can use to gain employment.
Once done, we cleared the surrounding area of rubbish and slotted the garden bench into place.
We also created an additional seating place for others to sit and enjoy! A job well done.

Welcome to Richmond Furniture Scheme. Your local furniture recycling charity based in Twickenham, where you can find good value for money and quality second-hand furniture! Richmond Furniture Scheme is a small charitable organisation set up to help people in need by collecting donated furniture in good condition from the Richmond borough area and reusing it. A small charge is made to those people that are referred. But to ensure that all donated furniture is reused, and to help make the Scheme more self-sufficient, the Scheme is open to sell furniture to all people residing in the Richmond Borough.
