4 cheerful goodgymers helped Mind, the mental health charity. 2 of us myself and Martin puddle jumped our way there.
Soon as we walked in Mel found her new legs (next to a manequin), those will get her through red Jan!
The Mind Warehouse organises clothing, books, CD/DVD's, bric a brack, toys, electricals to distribute to the Mind Charity shops, supplying over 180! The lovely Volunteer gave us a tour and safety briefing, this gentleman has spent his life working for charities in Leicestershire, he was very knowledgelable, then the deputy manager demonstrated what to look out for on the quality checks.
We delved into charity bag donations from households, sorting what would be sent to the Mind charity and what would be sent on to third world countries. David couldn't resist trying on a new hat, he also gave the manager a heads up on some golf clubs he spied.
We will be back to this worthy charity reliant on volunteers, with experience we will be pro's at bobble, wear and tare quality checks, making sure the Mind shops get the best quality for sales to fund this valuable charity to people's lives.
