Donations Galore!
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Naomi House in Portsmouth.
- Saturday, 12th of June 2021
- Led by Portsmouth runner
We arrived today to a backroom full of pink bags, toys and other donations. Seems that lots of people have been having a good clear-out this Spring to make way for more £1 bargains potentially and the donations kept on coming during our session with one person needing a shopping trolley to bring it all to us. Harry, Lynn and Mel were tasked with more Ladies' clothing, including warmer garb as people are aparently already looking to stock up on their Autumn/Winter wardrobe! We managed to empty a couple of bags each, but alas nowhere close to emptying the bag pen today. Discussions today revolved around childhood pranks, toys we'd played with and a few anecdotes on what made us laugh until we cried as kids (including a lot of toilet humour and secret language) which made us laugh all over again. Lynn and Mel both found some bargains and Harry kindly brought some more brownies to share. It was a great session which flew by as usual. We left Simon and Terry with a still very busy shop, off to enjoy the rest of the sunny afternoon.
