Jumpers for Joy
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Care4Calais East London in Tower Hamlets.
- Saturday, 11th of September 2021
- Led by Laura Williams
GoodGym joined other local volunteers to help Care4Calais sort through a massive pile of clothing donations destined for refugees who are in need of a few new stiches.
The enthusiastic team gathered in a disused gym, where a mountain of donations were piled up in one room. One by one we took them through to a large studio where we sorted through the contents, separating the desirable clothes into men's, women's, children's and discarding items nobody would want. Swimming goggles and a few fancy dress head-pieces provided some laughter.
There was plenty of chatter throughout, and we stopped for a tea break, with biscuits and ORANGE MATCHMAKERS (is it the 70's??), provided by the lovely Julita who was in charge of the whole operation.
