A busy evening was had by GoodGym Kingston as we helped the Save The World Club charity move a load of old furniture.

The charity has been running for over 20 years with the aim of saving items from landfill or incineration and keep it circulating through upcycling, redistribution and public art. As much as the intentions are wonderful, they simply can't save it all and tonight's activity involved clearing one of their storage areas of unusable furniture.

Marcos, Luke and Dave got busy with loading an empty skip with heavy old bed frames, tables, cots etc. Meanwhile Jana, Hazel and Rachel were moving a load of mattresses and sofas from one part of the storage unit to another are to enable easier access and free up space.

Many hands made light work and we had soon cleared all that we could. A really satisfying task and some great progress made. Mission accomplished.
