Six intrepid GoodGymers from Liverpool, Effie, Emma, Eimear, Pauline, Rowan and Matthew answered a last minute call to help out at The Brink, a café for people recovering from addiction. It is a safe place for them to go, as well as the public, to get coffee and cake and to generally hang out. The call came to us yesterday as they had the decorators coming in on Monday and needed to clean the whole place, which is quite a space, including walls and metalwork. We got down to business straight away and moved, cleaned and scrubbed from high to low and in just over an hour we had finished all the required cleaning and judging by the colour of the water at the end it was well worth the effort.

They are now going to be able to paint the venue in a brighter colour than military green, which it currently is, to provide a brighter place for all concerned. A sterling call to arms for our team and great to chance to help an organisation in need of some last minute help.
