It takes two to tango, and at last nights task it only took two to traid. Jonny and Lucy teamed up at Hammersmith Traid to help clear the shop floor for a fresh new delivery.

Back at TRAID to help them out with their charity packdown.

Main take aways were the psychedelic which hurt too long to look at.

Thanks all for coming!

An efficient mission, being taught how to fold clothes with hangers on and not breaking the boxes!

Thanks to everyone for their help!

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.

On what was a very hot, very sweaty day we pulled together to help out TRAID pack down their sale.

Credit to Harvey for sporting for some of the finer items on offer!

It was time for the quarterly TRAID restock, and as usual GoodGym Hammersmith and Fulham were up for the task of helping clear the hangers ready for a load of new outfits to take their place. Six of West London’s finest were here to help put, although not Area Activator Cookie - he was doing a different kind of restock and replenishing after his amazing weekend feat. For those not on the know, Cookie completed the Barcelona marathon the day before. Brilliant work, and a good excuse to miss a double good deed I suppose!

Harvey, Analiese and Divya got to work on the racks straight away, each with their own technique to get the clothes on the floor. Kudos to Divya too for being the most efficient hanger collector that TRAID Hammersmith has ever seen!

At the other end of the shop, Lucy, Emily and Jenni had taken the greatest task. You know it’s a good job when not one, not two but four people say ‘I love this task for this job’! Why it was the matching shoes game. As always, there were black boots galore. As always, there were a couple of shoes gone astray not to be found until the very last minute. As always we got several big blue bags full up of pairs of trainers and pumps and plimsolls.

Back to the shop floor, the shoe gang finished up and went to help get the last of the racks emptied and the clothes piled up into the trolleys. It was almost time, and it seemed that none of us wanted to settle for just one good deed this Monday. The final skirt hit the floor (nicely done Emily) and with a great big thank you from the Hammersmith team, the six of us head off the mile or so up the road for part two of the TRAID double whammy to Shepherds Bush!
