The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the temperature was up.

Our shift started at 1545 but Emily, Tom and Helen arrived 30 minutes early to take the flow test. The other Goodgym members had their flow tests elsewhere up to 3 days before the volunteering shift.

We were welcomed to the Pavillion and shown to our positions. Mary and Lucy were placed at the waiting area. This area was super busy during this shift as the centre were giving out the Pfizer vaccine. This vaccine requires the recipient to wait for 15 minutes afterwards to ensure they have no side effects. As each member of the public left, the volunteers were required to clean the seat with anti-bacterial wipes ready for the next person.

Tom and Helen were placed in the main hall allocating visitors to waiting spots outside the vaccination booths.

Emily was placed at the staff exit and then moved to the front of the hall half way through the shift.

Steven and Rob were placed near the door. They were asked to help guide people in, read out the covid questions and take temperatures.

We finished at around 2015 and during our shift had welcomed hundreds of visitors into the centre. Well done team!
