Wednesday's midweek session down at the Warehouse saw a few of the usual team joined by some lovely folks from Bol Foods. They were on a day out of the office to do some giving back in the community and it was great to have the extra pairs of hands. Hope you enjoyed it and we'd love to see you again - you can check out other GoodGym community activities in your area here.

Jobs today included:

  • Giving the offices that volunteers will be using a festive feel by putting up Christmas decorations
  • Helping to create a bigger kitchen area for the volunteers, which along with the decorations will improve their working environment
  • Moving printers
  • Removing doors where they need to kept open, which will make things safer when moving around the warehose
  • Finishing off painting the parking bays (harder than it might seem to keep everything rectangular...) and fencing off the end of the car park to prevent any accidents

  • In all, a very productive day and with only one more session at the warehouse on 3rd December, we wished Richard well for the operation over Christmas and look forward to visiting again for the takedown in the new year!
