A bit of bad weather never puts us off but thankfully it was an indoor good deed day! The rain was biblical, I even wore my wellies to walk there.

Today we welcomed Lily to her first GoodGym good deed. She was alongside old hands as Jo was at the very first GG run back in May 2018 along with me!

After a bit of form filling and introductions we were straight into the sorting, sizing, hanging jobs as usual. There were a few amusing finds in amongst the donations including a dress that could double as a tent and a very 70s nylon number.

Simon the shop manager got to practice his Spanish on Lily and asked us to hang some of the clothes out in the shop too. Wheeling the rails round without crashing into any other rails isn't as straight forward as it looks!

Another great morning spent with good people doing good things. Wouldn't it be nice to have that every day?

We're booked in with Naomi House for the rest of the month so keep an eye out for the listings and come and join the fun.
