Just two of us today - Ivar was doing his first hospice clothing mission. Pretty unremarkable donations; though again we had lots of shoes…. I personally had some glass slippers which some lucky shopper will no doubt snap up. Ivar’s discovery of a massive kilt was a surprise - it nearly got put in the blankets. Typically Scotsmen did use their kilts as blankets when travelling. Masses of winter clothes today, so that’s good. Not so much in the way of coats, maybe they’re due to arrive next week. It’s odd how donation types go in waves. A good productive morning with lots of chat too.

7 Goodgymers and two friends of Clean Up Charlton, including one of our local Councillors, met on a sunny morning in SE7 to make our streets a lot cleaner.

How much fun is litter-picking with friends? It CAN be lots of fun - we filled 4 bags of items for recycling and 12 bags in total, weaving our way around the roadworks in SE7. Well done to our smallest litter-picker - showing the Councillor how to deal with those plastic bottles and impressing him enough with the CAN-do attitude of GoodGym so that he joined our usual coffee session in M&S despite his busy day. Thanks to everyone for your hard work and your laughs!
