Care 4 Calais had received another load of donations which task owner, Tamzin, had asked for help to sort through. Mohamed, Kash, Steph and Sevan braved the rain and wind to dive into the giant bags and see what was what.

Mohamed, Kash and Steph started by sorting the adult clothes donations by gender and then by size, creating neat piles for XS people through to XL people. Some of the sizes had to be eyeballed as labels were missing or the clothes had come from countries with totally different sizing systems, leaving the GoodGymers confused. As usual, some of the donations weren't suitable styles for those who'll receive them, so they were separated out to be passed onto other charities.

Elsewhere, Sevan was working alongside Tamzin to prepare clothing packs that would be delivered tomorrow, adding shoes, jackets or other items to the standard sets. Unlike last time, there were no unusual requests, only awkward sizes where stock was low. There turned out to be some duplicate clothing packs though, which luckily were caught by the pair before being dispatched.

By the end of the task, everyone was reunited sorting clothes. Once the adult donations were completed, there was the fun task of working with children's clothes. No one present had children, so there was a lot of guesswork involved to work out which age bracket each jacket, t-shirt or sweater would fit in. They were told by Tamzin not to worry too much as it would work itself out.

By the time the team left, the sorted donations were ready for the next volunteer group to prepare new clothing packs with and the completed clothing packs were ready to be delivered. A good achievement on the first day of the year.
