Report written by Euclides Montes
3 Goodgymmers Cool Brittaniaed their way through a Britpop-infused evening as the staff at Wood Green Traid blasted their way through a lovely, and sometimes itchy, playlist.
Mis-Shapes
Nurjehan, Neil, and Gramps - as Common People as they come, battled the elements tonight and made their way to the High Road in Wood Green for a task at which we keep Getting Better and better every time we go.
A bit soggy but still smiling, our Girls & Boys cracked on with the job at hand in proper This Is Hardcore mood.
We unhooked some clothes, We sometimes even tried some of them on
It gave us a sense of enormous well-being
(Parklife)
After an hour or so, and once we were satisfied we had left the Wide Open Spaces of Traid Sorted For Es and Whizz, Nurjehan - our resident timekeeper - came along and She Said, this is the End Of The Century. A bit dramatic, perhaps, but Queen Khan does as she pleases. Alright.
Having enjoyed the musical interlude, we all headed home in the cold, cold rain. And whatever you do, just don't bring up Oasis around Gramps - he comes up in hives
TRAID (Textile Reuse and International Development) is a UK charity working to tackle and solve the problems caused by producing, consuming and disposing of clothes. We do this by providing convenient ways for the public to reuse clothes while delivering education to people of all ages to raise awareness of the powerful environmental and social benefits of reducing our clothing footprint. The funds we raise are committed to global projects benefiting the people and places making our clothes. The work we support aims to improve environmental and social outcomes from supporting cotton farmers grow organic cotton to helping retailers to eliminate child labour in their supply chains. Most of the funds are raised through our charity shops, and in order to do so, we hold five Sale periods a year across our eleven branches, these last approximately 2-3 weeks. The last day of the Sale, after closing time, we need to pack the leftovers and leave the shop clear for it to be restocked the following day, here is where your teams can be of much help.
