Report written by Sam Chapman
On this big windy night, the top team at Traid needed our help with their regular sale stock changing shenanigans, so a small but elite team was assembled.
I arrived at Traid at one minute to 6 to see chief GoodGym timekeeper Nurjehan already hard at work, EARLY! 👍⌚️ Emily arrived shortly after and in no time the three of us, along with the Traid crew, removed the many clothes hangers and packed up the four massive boxes with clothes, including an attractive bow tie and a fetching brown teddy bear skin bikini top.
Until next time! 👕👙
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.
