Boxing clever at Homeless Hampers
8 GoodGymers made their way to help the Homeless Hampers in Leeds.
- Wednesday, 24th of April 2024
- Led by Laura
8 GoodGym members met at the storage unit used by Homeless Hampers. We were greeted by Aky who told us the inspirational story of his and Tina's project to support homeless people in Leeds and Bradford and also help newly homed people to furnish their accommodation. We then pulled out the bags of donations; sorted and boxed up clothing; and filled the storage unit in a more organised fashion. Nothing goes to waste....smart work-type clothes go to community hubs for jobseekers to wear to interviews; unsuitable clothes are sold by weight to another organisation giving funds for the street feeding sessions. A big welcome to Lisa who came for her first session with GoodGym. We hope to see you again soon. Homeless Hampers have loads of individual and corporate volunteering opportunities and their contact details can be found on social media. We will return!
