We arrived at the building of Sanctuary Family Support to be greeted by Maddy, fast becoming an old friend on our fourth visit here. The walls of one of their therapy rooms had years of marks, scuffs and general muck around old posters and pictures so they were in need of some fresh paint to spruce the place up once more.
As occasionally happens the tools and paint available were not fully up to the task, so many of our amazing charities and community groups are struggling to get by with their core work let alone invest in resources to decorate. The paint was old and had gone off, so in true GoodGym style Eimear and John set off on a run to the local shops to pick up some new paint and some masking tape, with the rest of us walking behind to help carry, a bonus to add a little extra exercises into the afternoon session!
With no ladder and foam rollers that kept falling off their polls, we carefully worked our way around the room, taking full advantage of the taller GoodGymers, thanks John and Phillip, to reach the tops of the walls!!
It wasn't long before all four walls were completed and another GoodGYm task well done!
Shout out to Eimear and John for running there and back and me for speed walking!!
( in the end the walls were painted magnolia not white as it was the only paint available but we don't let a small detail like that get in the way of a good pun!)
