Report written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)
What a great way to start the week!
Seven GG volunteers arrived promptly (or some 25 minutes before...) to the Salvation Army in Camberwell.
Catherine met us outside and told us all about how this Salvation Army centre has a baby bank and accommodates up to 100 women and family, who need the extra support with baby clothes, toys and amenities. Over the course of the lockdown, this has steadily increased, but equally so has the donations. That's what we were here for.... To sort out the donations.
Yet, there was still another task. The windows outside needed to be cleaned, so Katie and Marga eagerly volunteered to start outside. Whilst the rest of us: Nicky, Paulin, Liv, Sophie and I got our own working stations and starting sorting out through the bags of donations - clothes from 0 months to 7 years old as well as a variety of toys.
An hour and a half zoomed by as we sorted out through bags and bags of clothes. Catherine was so pleased with the work we did and expects us back to help out with more! Can't wait to come back!
