Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Nicola Marshall
It was a rainy Wednesday evening as we all gathered for our weekly Goodgym fix. Rain and Goodgym generally don’t go hand in hand but tonight, the weather had other ideas. However, it didn’t deter us diehards from doing our pre-task workout (and besides, the rain wasn’t actually that bad to be fair!!). We headed out and did a brisk circular route – chatting and catching up on how each other’s weeks had been. It was lovely as always.
Back at the task, we were greeted by the lovely Dalton who gave us a warm welcome as always. The Lighthouse Centre does a lot of work to support the homeless and vulnerable people in our community. The work they do is invaluable. Adele, Karen, Kat, Maurice, Nigel & Nicola got stuck into the task of sorting out clothes donations. There must have been around 10 big bags of clothes, and it was our job to sort them into piles of men’s, women’s, bedding & accessories. As always, we had a good laugh as we sorted, with the obligatory modelling of clothes (by those brave enough, lol!). The underwear finds never fail to amuse us, lol!
It was lovely to be indoors on a bit of miserable night and it was lovely to be back at the Lighthouse Centre again, having not been there for a while.
Well done to all our amazing diehards for your continuous support and commitment to Goodgym, but most of all, your commitment to your local community. You’re truly wonderful.
Have a great week everyone.
Lots of love. Nicola xxx
