Two GoodGym runners spent their Saturday morning helping the Ideas Hub load their van.

The Ideas Hub provides a community space in the centre of Chelmsford with a befriending cafe and loads of activities and support services for the community. It offers the opportunity to participate in and/or host events, exhibitions and workshops in their flexible event and meetings spaces. Their aim is to foster creativity & community spirit in Chelmsford. Basically the sort of organisation that GoodGym loves to support!!

Me and Rich met up at 10am at the library to help the Ideas Hub move out and into their new home. We certainly put the Gym into GoodGym. What seemed like a monumental task took no time at all as [Rich](/runners/mr-richard-walker) took like a duck to water and easily did the work of two or three people. He's definitely done this before and made light work of moving even the biggest pieces of furniture. It was a great workout shifting boxes, tables and all sorts of bits and pieces onto the van parked just over the road from the library. Amazingly there were no breakages despite me dropping a plastic cup or two and having a sewing machine magically appear from the middle of a table like a jack in the box.

To celebrate a job well done we had a little late breakfast/early lunch in the Lemon Tree cafe afterwards. We had certainly earned it.

We will see the Ideas Hub again this week on Tuesday and Wednesday helping them to roll their tool trolleys down the high street to their new premises in the Meadows Shopping Centre. I cannot wait!!
