Pampered* with baby gear!
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the East End Women in Newcastle.

It was an action packed day at the East End Women’s foodbank today! There were plenty of volunteers today to organise the bags of food for the delivery drivers, so GoodGymers Charlotte, Kate and I had the chance to do something a bit different. Charlotte and Kate got straight to work building flat pack shelving units and a table. They took turns wielding the large sledgehammer and there was a definite Chuckle Brothers thing going on - “to me, to you!”
At the other end of the room I focused on unpacking boxes and stacking the new shelves with baby wipes, baby food and nappies. The nappies were organised by size which appealed to my obsessional nature! *Other brands of nappies are available.
It was also satisfying to throw lots of cardboard into the recycling room and finish off with some shelf stacking. By time we finished, the room was looking great!
Will we be back next week? Maybe we won’t, baby we will! (We definitely will!)
