Five Good Gymers turned out for our monthly visit to the Richmond Furniture Scheme.

First off, we welcomed Tamas to Good Gym for his first ever task having heard about us originally a few years ago through Whole Foods in Richmond.

We were subsequently assigned by the Volunteer Coordinator Lucy the tasks of breaking up and recycling a wardrobe, sweeping the yard, which both JP and Tomas undertook with appropriate brooms, as well as removing the various weeds and litter, which was done by Adam, Chris and Rosie.

We also had the additional task of trying to find the magnetic pick up tool, which Tamas was able to attract! This was then used for picking up the excess metal.

The yard was magnetically cleared!

Richmond Furniture Scheme

Welcome to Richmond Furniture Scheme. Your local furniture recycling charity based in Twickenham, where you can find good value for money and quality second-hand furniture! Richmond Furniture Scheme is a small charitable organisation set up to help people in need by collecting donated furniture in good condition from the Richmond borough area and reusing it. A small charge is made to those people that are referred. But to ensure that all donated furniture is reused, and to help make the Scheme more self-sufficient, the Scheme is open to sell furniture to all people residing in the Richmond Borough.
