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.

Today's task took 4 of us to the light cafe in Bromley. It was lovely to meet Michael completing his 10th good deed and his fellow newbie Jane who was also on her second mission of the day—well done guys. We spent time weeding and cleaning up the outside area making it look presentable again. There was plenty of graffiti on the door and window which was covered up nicely by the end of the task.

This evening we had a post bank holiday posting task! A new volunteer-led repair cafe is being set up in Beckenham and the team wanted a hand spreading the word, to recruit volunteers, to let people know they can get their stuff fixed for free, and to ultimately lead to less waste and less buying new. Lovely stuff.

We met at Beckenham Spa and welcomed Jane and Karine who are brand new to GoodGym - so great that you chose to join us today!

We split into two groups - Stephen, Charlie, Karine and Jane took on a nearby road, whilst Ria, Michael and I did a short jog round the corner.

150 or so leaflets down, we called it a day with a few of us taking extra leaflets to pop into shops/other streets.

Nice one, team!
