Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
Get Rid Of & Donate is a group who repurpose people's unused clothes, bags and more. Every month they have had a clothing donation drive and they need to get it out to those who need it most.
Meet Andrea outside Zimbabwe House on The Strand at 7pm look out for the white van. This can be a bit of an intense task as people are understandably keen to get the stuff they need most. If you feel uncomfortable, please feel free to step away or speak to Andrea.
Usually people come up and take any clothes they need as well as a bag of essentials.
Please bring: Hand sanitiser 🧤 Gloves
Andrea who will be there to explain what to do has advised on bringing minimising personal belongings. She will give us a briefing when we arrive but of course don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with!
