Right, so I've worked these donation bags.
Lovely.
Excuse me, I've got my tags on.
So I'll go through those now and price them up and things like that.
Lovely shoes, beautiful shoes have come in.
Little Zara ones.
See if I can zoom out.
Go through them now.
They all look pretty clean, so none of them will need a wash.
Bit of...
River Island, but there.
So I've gone through them now.
So what we do, first of all, this is the Jan standard.
This is the Jan training now.
Okay, Jan, our volunteer.
One of our senior, senior Royals, senior volunteer.
Devised this plan, okay.
So, we go through them, we put them in ages, 0 to 3, 12 to 18, 18 to 24, 6 to 9, 9 to 12, 2 to 3.
I know it's a bit backwards, but there we are.
Got to be a bit backwards to work here.
Right, so, we go through them, we make sure they're clean, we make sure they're all functioning, yeah, as they should do, and safely.
And you also need to check them for fire labels.
Any sleepwear, fancy dress, or children's clothes up to the age of one need to have fire labels on, or they have to be destroyed by law in accordance with trading standards law.
For safety reasons.
Okay?
This is why you need to watch your stuff you're buying off temu.
Right, because they don't have the correct fire labels on them.
Sheen have been told they got one, they've got a smart code on them now, I think.
But...
You just need to be aware of those safety reasons, okay?
So, we would have to put a scissors through it if it didn't have it.
So, I've got a little bit for washing, I'll have a go with that.
So then, after this now, I'm going to go through it all and do up all the buttons.
This is Jan's training, this is how we do it.
Because if you can't work the baby clothes, we won't have you in, because this is what...
you know, this is what our mothers need.
And they will come in, and they might be frazzled, and they might say I need baby clothes, so you need to know how the baby clothes run and work.
Okay, so they'll all get done up and folded.
And then, if they're a set, I've got a little plastic gunner thing.
But I've also got... there's a set down here, the Bambi set.
And I've got this little set for there, look.
Bit different colours there, I'll have to check.
But I know I've got a Bambi set, so pyjamas and tops will be stuck together, even with a safety pin.
I'd rather a safety pin, because it's more sustainable, but I will say that the...
The little plastic gunner has been a lifesaver for loads of stuff.
Mitten shoes, oh loads of stuff I've used for that.
Put the haberdasher on the rails to stop people pulling it off the hangers.
They say, no, I found these curtains, I think they're a pound.
No, where's the hanger that says ten pounds?
I won't bloody find it.
So we can like, plastic sort of, put them on, and some hangers have got holes in to put the plastic through, so they can't pull them off the hangers.
Um...
So yeah, this is how we work the baby clothes, and then once we've done the baby clothes, they are all 50p's.
The ones by my desk, Adira, they are all the 50p's, three for a pound, for a bag, for a fiver.
Then what we do is they come over, and they go on the coloured hangers, and this is the same system in every shop, and it's under our trademarks.
They don't even trade on.
So that's note to three, three to six, six to nine, six to twelve, twelve to eighteen.
That's as far as we've got with those.
And then if they're boutique items, they get hung up, with a price tag attached to them, and we usually on half price or something, so that would be one twenty five, a little gap one with a bear on.
If any of those get sent home, or the safety pins, just bring them back in with you next time you're in, guys.
Um...
I'll just put them in your donation bags ready, for when you donate to us next.
This is my rag bag, and there's not very often I chuck stuff out.
This I've had to go, because it's a safety concern.
And what I've done is rescued the polystyrene from in there, even just in case people need new polystyrene, and they might just want polystyrene for another job.
But then some of these are quite bad in here, so they've got to go, but rag in.
So, if somebody doesn't pick up the rag bag for free, and then do what they like with it, then it'll go into one of the clothes banks, but I will label it, because I've got permission to do that, I will label it as a rag bag.
So when their van picks it up and drops it off to their donation center, they'll say, oh, that's what I will rag her.
So, here we are.
That's how it works, guys.
That's the baby system.
Baby clothes are probably time-consuming because they need so many checks.
Cleanliness, safety, functioning, fire labels, and sets.
They've got to be put into sets, and that's before they even go hang up then.
Oh, yeah.
Are you all right?
I don't know.
No new room to get in here.
