Another Saturday, another mission! Except this Saturday it was no ordinary mission - it was #GG Super Saturday, GG's biggest ever day of missions, attempting to have every single area up and down the country doing a community mission of some sort!

In Greenwich, the mission was to help out Clothes 4 Causes renovate their new shop. They are moving just across the road to a bigger, swankier place, so they wanted to sell as much of their current stock as possible so they wouldn't have to move the whole lot.

Enter Pieter and I. By the time I showed up, Pieter was already fully immersed in the task, sorting clothes and putting them in hangers to be displayed at the (old) shop. I joined in and soon the rail where we were hanging the fashion pieces was starting to look full! We sorted and moved some of the pieces to other parts of the shop, navigating through customers along the way. All the clothes were going for the bargain price of £1, so you can imagine the shop was actually pretty full!

After little more than an hour, we had run out of clothes and of hangers. On the way out, we spotted a basket outside the shop full of books which we could just take for free! Never one to miss an opportunity to add to my ever growing library, I grabbed a book by Pieter's boss (aka, Facebook's COO), which made it the perfect end to a perfect mission!!
