The sorting life
17 GoodGymers made their way 6.3km to help the YMCA Cardiff Retail Store in Cardiff.

Tonight 17 eager goodgymers took to the evening to help out at our old friend of a Charity - the Y.M.C.A
It had been a few years (thanks pandemic) since we had been about to help, so the task was well overdue.
In a few groups we made our way, runners, walk/joggers and walkers heading a good 6km to the task location on Colchester Avenue. There was plenty to do upon our arrival, a mountain of donations just waiting for our help. Bags were ripped open as garments were checked and inspected to see if they passed the test.
If they looked good enough to keep they were sorted;
- Kids
- Womens
- Mens
- Non-Clothes (books etc.)
There were more bins to fill but by now I was busy with my new friend HENRY as we cleaned the floors, shouting countdowns to the sorting crew. We also had our bed builders - Martin and Marie, busy creating a lovely bed.
As the final shout out was made, the sorting was called to an end and it was time for a quick group photo.
We will be back again in a few weeks to help out with the sorting some more.
