Once again, many hands make light work. 4 good gymmers helped make up a team of 20 or so volunteers all packing and repacking Christmas food bags for the Livingwell community of Penge.

Once we’d been given the instructions (no alcohol, no meat, 2-4 toilet rolls etc) , there was no stopping us and in total over 150 bags were checked and packed, ready to be distributed next week!

Carpet laying Part-Deux

Great start to the task - I was complemented on my woolly hat by a fellow West Ham fan who is one of Living Well shop volunteers.

Great day for an indoor task whilst Storm Bert was outside!

Myself, Phil and Jane other arrived when Living Well were closing up after busy day trading.

We were carrying on from last weeks first part of the task. The first half of the shops new carpet had been laid. It was time to move, and prep for the carpet fitters arriving on Monday morning.

Half a dozen crates packed with stock, 4 shelving units unscrewed from the wall and moved to the front of the shop.

The big task of the day was now at hand move the tri part till/payment desk.

After all the furniture was moved, it was time for a quick sweep up and our work was done.

We then send goodbye to Living Well and went of to brave the wind and rain to make our journeys home.
