Camden Report written by Sian Yeu
This was an extension of an earlier mission and David had already attended 'Part 1' of it so knew I was in good hands :-)
Ms M has a beautiful and well organised home and she wanted her paperwork to be in order in a similar manner so we picked up from what was done before and finished it! I was on the filing duty and David was on shredding duty (pic shows the proof of our work - a bag full of shredded paper in the recycling bin!)
Even had some time left to help Ms M change settings on her new tablet to make the fonts bigger and change the wallpaper.

This will mean she will feel less stressed, feel more organised and up to date.

Southwark Report written by Maria Kostoulia (she/they)
A nice and quick session for GROAD.
We emptied out the new shed, where previous volunteers had sorted the clothes into categories, and moved the bags to the porch so that they’re ready to get picked up.

The fifth chapter of GoodGym x Ealing Repair Cafe collab brought three new apprentices of upcycling to Acton: Roberta, Nishy and a guest from Tower Hamlets: Sian. While Sevan, Steph and Kash - not newbies to the sewing workshops - felt comfortable with their speedy 4.5km run from Ealing Broadway, it was Claire who was the most comfortable with the sewing machine. Like a boss - that's how Claire looked in front of the apparatus which others approached with caution, suspicious about whether it can sew their fingers to the fabric. Spoiler alert: no one left the workshop with holes in their fingers.
Mary from Ealing Repair Cafe gave us a choice of two tasks:
1) make draught excluders from old jeans to give them out to residents at the Reduce & Recycle Hub 2) make drawstring bags from old, colourful running t-shirts for the South Ealing Community Food Cupboard)
It was a night full of discoveries!
The enjoyable evening session with Mary and Lone resulted in six finished drawstring bags for the Food Cupboard and two draught excluders (that's a pair of jeans legs!) for the Reduce & Recycle Hub at Acton Market.
We will team up once more with Ealing Repair Cafe this year before December, so watch this space for more workshops! Next week we are back in Acton to distribute leaflets for next month's Reduce & Recycle Hub - sign up to join us!
