Not only a new organisation for us to work with but a new Age UK Superstore in Leicester, found by task force member Jimmy on his cycle home from another task.

6 Goodgymers were kindly welcomed and given a quick tour and demo how to label, tag and hang, Jimmy took his school boy notes which we all referred back to.

Nick found his specialty at charity shops, book sorting with Samir too, together they sorted a pile of books ready to stock the shelves.

In no time at all the clothes rail was looking fuller with clothes going from sacks, to be labelled then hung on the rail all buttoned up.

The staff made us coffees, with biscuits and sweets, the Goodgymmers were happy. Good Luck to Mel and Nick at the Belvoir Challenge this weekend, a 24hr lapped race and Mel sounds like she's taking on every volunteering opportunity available, Lindsay asked when is she going to sleep?!

Afterwards we all had a browse of the new charity shop, Jimmy was tempted by a a toy digger I'd like to have seen him carry that home on his bike. Great to see you all, weldone team we'll be back.
