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 And Donate (GROAD) are a CIC (community interest company) that helps re-purpose items to give back to those in need. From refugees and rough sleepers to vulnerable people and families, the general public can come and donate their clothing and assorted items (such as toys, books, homeware etc.). We have to sort and categorise these items in the main room before storing them away in Changing Room 5.
The items will be distributed throughout the week in various warm hubs in Lambeth and Southwark. Andrea also works with local schools that lack funding to give some toys and books away. Andrea and the GROAD team need as many hands to help with collecting and sorting all type of donations made by the general public.
Times: 13:30-15:30, but if you can only do an hour that is still helpful!
Where: the task is at the The Edward Alleyn Club in Dulwich near Herne Hill/Brockwell Park.
Please sign up to this task as early as you can so we can make arrangements for donations to be left to sort (and let us know if you can’t make it).

Pass It On - Giving unwanted household goods a new home
Don’t let your rejected items end up abandoned on streets or in landfills, where they can sit disintegrating and damaging our environment. Reach out to Get Rid Of and Donate, arrange a free collection for your unwanted goods and help us be there for everyone who needs us.
