Tonight’s task was with the lovely people from Common Thread who collect clothes donations ahead of a monthly clothes swap, a very sustainable way of changing yiur wardrobe! After a cheeky short firness session in Pound park, the GoodGym crew - made up of Rachel, Yvette, Celine and Matthew - joined Sarah, Nick, Emily and Ollie from Common Thread to sort through baby, children and teens clothes by age; as a challenge, Sarah asked us to identify clothes we wish were in adult size!

We then moved on to adult clothes and well, we had to try some on! We then boxed the sorted clothes ahead of next month’s clothes swap; do attend, it will be on Saturday 12th April (1 - 3pm); full details on Common Thread Facebook page.

There will be more volunteering opportunities to set up and sort on Friday 11/4 evening & Saturday morning as well as to help pack down on Saturday 2-6pm. I’m reliably told volunteers get first choice on clothes! I even took a lovely pink top - the tiger top sadly only came in size 5 years old!
