St Leonard's Hospice have recently opened a new donation centre at Clifton Moor and have been overwhelmed by the amount of donations received. They have asked us if we can help sort through the backlog of donations so that items can make their way into the retail shops and raise funds for the hospice. If there is enough interest then we may be able to make this a regular monthly task.

Come along to the clothes swap and help the residents of York reuse and recycle their unwanted clothes. We help sort clothes as they come in, put them out on the rails and usually run the cafe as well. This is a great community task, a really positive atmosphere and lots of steps if you count those kinds of things 😁.
I tend to do the community woodland parkrun first and then jog over and people are welcome to join me.
The task is listed for 10-11.30 but the swap runs 9-12 so feel free to join us a little bit later or leave early if you can't do the whole 90mins.
