Five goodgymmers met up with the lovely Common Thread volunteers to sort through heaps of recent clothes donations. After Fran and Jess's welcome, we organised ourselves around the tables, going through bags of clothes and sorting them according to gender and type of clothes. We were also looking for specific clothes to make bundles for other charities who were looking for particular items for clients. It was Vivien's first Goodgym session at Common Thread and just like the rest of us, she got stuck in, unearthing some fab clothes finds, making piles of coats, dresses, jumpers etc. Well done!!! We filled up the lift and soon it was time to bid goodbye to Common Thread, some of us leaving with donated leeks from Fran''s allotment or a fancy and snazxy item of clothing! Another job well done, gang! See you guys soon!
