What better way to spend your Monday evening than hanging out with friends? Spending your Monday evening un-hanging out with friends!
That’s what six of West London’s finest GoodGymmers were up to at TRAID Hammersmith. One of our regular tasks, we help with the charity store’s restock by clearing the rails of old stock ready for a fresh haul of clothes to come in. The shop aims to help stop textile wastage associated with fast fashion, which is incredibly bad for the environment.
As the store closed, we were straight away offloading tops and trousers from the rails and getting shirts and skirts off the hangers. Cookie, Divy and Harvey were efficient in accumulating attire and heaping hangers for Kash and Sevan to bungle into boxes. Lucy was on her old favourite the two-shoe - finding pairs of wedges and walking boots and bagging them up.
In possible record time, the rails were bare and the cardboard crates taped up for the restock. Now that’s fast fashion.
