Sitting here on a Sunday morning reflecting on Fridays Clothes Swap.
I am constantly blown away by the amazing group of volunteers that support me - endlessly.
All the ‘staff’ here are volunteers - we have a volunteer what’s app group that I ask for help on ‘event’ days and they always deliver.
We also have one of Stripey Stork’s amazing staff or volunteers that kindly collects donations at end of event to get them back to HQ.
My parents allow their doorstep to be an early collection point so that my mum and I have time to sort and clearly label donations.
Volunteer Kerrie does the same and is the most efficient ‘sorter’. She’s also kindly offered to collect clothes donations earlier than my parents can as she has some clean/dry storage space that isn’t the family lounge!
We had fabulous feedback about our new venue, from the volunteers and our regular bloom families also suggesting some ‘other’ ideas.
I will give myself a week or two planning time and then start adverising how the next event will work and how we will collect donations.
Thank you so much again.
Love Kate x
