A warm but overcast Saturday morning welcomed 3 GGers to the Richmond Furniture Scheme where task owner Simon was ready with a task for us - moving a pile of heavy vinyl flooring rolls to behind their shed.
First up, a cup of tea. Self-respecting removers won’t starting lifting anything without one.
Then, we got going. Those rolls were so heavy they must have broken vinyl records. But with the aid of a small trolley, a fair bit of heft and our cups of tea, we managed to get them all moved and stacked up behind the shed.
There were 8 rolls in all and we were pretty pooped when we finished - but we had a bit of time left so did a bit of fence-weeding to leave the area tidy, and off we went to enjoy our Saturday.
Next time up at the RFS is on 17th August. Sign up here: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/helping-richmond-furniture-scheme-to-support-others-c3bbd1ab-caf7-439f-a598-e47e293b381f

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.
