Six Good Gymers braved the heat for our monthly visit to the Richmond Furniture Scheme.

We welcomed a first timer to the Good Gym community, Tanya who heard about us through friends. Then we started our assignment. The plan was to cut back the ivy coming over the fence in two separate areas as well as a general tidy up of the outside area.

What was rather unexpected, however, was that we then discovered we had to play a game of removing pieces of tetris furniture first to get to the tools required from the shed!

Once we had done the hard bit of acquiring the relevant tools, we got down to the task with efficiency and teamwork, successfully bagging up multiple bags of garden waste.

A job well done! The Tetris items of course had to be put back after the tools ready for our next visit in July!

Welcome to Richmond Furniture Scheme. Your local furniture recycling charity based in Twickenham, where you can find good value for money and quality second-hand furniture! Richmond Furniture Scheme is a small charitable organisation set up to help people in need by collecting donated furniture in good condition from the Richmond borough area and reusing it. A small charge is made to those people that are referred. But to ensure that all donated furniture is reused, and to help make the Scheme more self-sufficient, the Scheme is open to sell furniture to all people residing in the Richmond Borough.
