5 G.W.As (Goodgymmerz With Attitudes) ran through the mean streets of Wood Green to lend a hand at Traid as they rid their shop floor of last season's clothes. Boom!

Clocking up tasks like it's going out of fashion

Big up for Super Sam who has reached the magical 300 tasks in a rather speedy fashion! Big fans of her handiwork here at GGH HQ so we were very happy to be able to make a bit of a fuzz for her. How long before she hits 400? Watch this space!

Cut from the same cloth

What can we say about this task that we haven't said before? We love our quarterly trip to Traid on Wood Green High Road. It's indoors, it's warm, it's fun, we get to dress up, and the good folk at Traid always look at us as if we had just landed from a distant planet as we buzz around the shop chatting and working at equal speed. It really is a joy to watch our Goodgymmers at this task as they glide through the shop floor. A task they can almost complete with their eyes closed by now, they efficiently and systematically make their way through packing the clothes away and all the hangers too. All the while not stopping their nattering even to take a breather. Impressive stuff.

Tonight we had to leave at 6:40 to make our way to the our next task of the evening but SuperSam and Nurj decided to stay behind and continue helping Traiders on the floor. Stars.

Fun times and onto the next.

Join us next week for more fun and games for another double tasker on Wednesday!

Ramadan Mubarak to all brother and sister celebrating

TRAID

TRAID (Textile Reuse and International Development) is a UK charity working to tackle and solve the problems caused by producing, consuming and disposing of clothes.

TRAID (Textile Reuse and International Development) is a UK charity working to tackle and solve the problems caused by producing, consuming and disposing of clothes. We do this by providing convenient ways for the public to reuse clothes while delivering education to people of all ages to raise awareness of the powerful environmental and social benefits of reducing our clothing footprint. The funds we raise are committed to global projects benefiting the people and places making our clothes. The work we support aims to improve environmental and social outcomes from supporting cotton farmers grow organic cotton to helping retailers to eliminate child labour in their supply chains. Most of the funds are raised through our charity shops, and in order to do so, we hold five Sale periods a year across our eleven branches, these last approximately 2-3 weeks. The last day of the Sale, after closing time, we need to pack the leftovers and leave the shop clear for it to be restocked the following day, here is where your teams can be of much help.
