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
We'll be helping to sort and organise donated clothes, homeware, furniture, games and toys before they make their way to one of the Community Hospice shops across Bexley and Greenwich boroughs.
It's always a magical mystery tour as you open each bag, wondering what's inside. With a little training you'll soon get into the swing of checking the item's condition and sorting it into the correct bag ready for onward transit, and hopefully a new home.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided by the friendly warehouse team.
Places are limited so if the event is showing as fully booked please email bexley@goodgym.org to say that you are interested, then we can try and set-up some more dates.

If you need a 1940s dress or a 1950s drinks bar, then No 16 is the place to go. Opened in 2013 the shop brings together antique and retro furniture, homeware and clothing under one roof. The site also houses the main warehouse for sorting donations.
