On a Monday night, after work five GoodGymers arrived at GROAD's unofficial HQ, St Faith's Community Centre to sort out and pack bags for the rough sleepers. Every last Tuesday of the month (apart from December), Andrea brings the GROAD van to the Strand to hand out these packed bags.
The team including newbie, Katie managed to pack 26 bags as well as sort out big bags of sleeping bags, shoes and blankets.
They even packed the van and filled it with the toys going to the local schools.
All in all, great power hour of doing good - welcome again, Katie!

On Sunday afternoon, five GoodGymers including newbie Sevasti attended a GROAD session at St Faith's Community Centre to help sort out donations. The main focus of today was to start packing donated toys for local kids in local schools. This ensures the toys have a second or third life.
Other tasks of the hour included setting up the Open House for the refugee families and to get all the items ready for the Rough Sleepers project on Monday and Tuesday night.
Lastly, the team helped sort out hangers by type and take in any new donations.
Kudos to everyone who came for the power hour of good! 👍

4 Great GoodGymers made their way to Charring Cross to equip Westminsters homeless community for the Winter months.
A massively impactful session distributing Sleeping bags, tents, quilts and warm clothing out to Westminsters homeless community.
Teaming up with GROAD charity to help them distribute there donations. Awesome that GoodGym groups help prepare the donations in the Dulwich hub before we hand it out directly to those who need it.
40 minutes of a action out the back if the new van helped so many of the homeless community to make the transition into Winter a little more comfortable.
Be great to have you back again in November!

Joao, Michele, Sam and Sophia met at St. Faith's with a load of other GROAD volunteers to help set up the Open House for tomorrow. We emptied the Sheds and the porch to display the items in the hall and outside whilst sorting through to put away any rough sleeper related items in Shed 1. On top of this, we had a bunch of donations from the public to keep on top of. no wonder the hour passed by in a flash!
