It was our second visit to help Wrap Up London in their initiative to get a warm coat to everybody who needs it this winter and it was lovely to see some familiar faces, some we hadn't seen in a while, and we even got to meet the very newest GoodGymer - hello Finn and welcome to GoodGym!

The scale of the job was immense with over 20 000 coats to sort through and pack, so we wasted no time in getting started!

There was a surprising amount of maths involved as we tried to work out how to fulfill the requests that charities had made and get the right number of coats into bags. Luckily Catherine has a head for numbers and we soon had a seamless production line on the go.

We packed bags for various organisations including refugee centres and shelters across London, and then we moved on to an enormous pile of baby clothes, discovering some very natty babygros and sleep sets!

After a productive stint we had packed, sorted and bagged and had made a good dent in the donations. Great work everybody!
