The famous five Goodgymers met at Age UK Leicester to help sort, size and price clothes. Lynn and Mel were tasked with scanning and sorting books to see if they had been sold online , thus raising funds for AGE UK . Nick, Jim and Lindsay sorted and priced items ready for the sale. Jim enjoyed modelling some of the latest jackets on offer . Lindsay made hot drinks and Nick provided some yummy cookies for the tea break. Well done everyone and thanks for the treats Nick .

8 Super Goodgymmers helped sort, label, tag and hang at Age UK Superstore today, a fairly new charity shop in Leicester that we have supported since their opening.

Today we had not 1 but 2 new members, great to meet you both and I’m pleased you enjoyed today’s task. Very quickly everyone worked through the bags filling the rails in no time. Dave and Mel sorted a huge pile of books, amazing how more hands make for a lighter load.

Dawn had been busy knitting bobble hats for the Innocent smoothie bottles, they were so creative the watermelon themed hat was a fave, they were all amazing.

Good luck to those of you running Kibworth League race this Sunday and Weldone to Dave running to today’s task, Dawn walking and Mel reaching 105 days of 5km every day! Amazing!

Weldone everyone, Age UK praised your efforts as always appreciated.

10 amazing Goodgymers helped at Age UK Leicester by sorting, sizing, tagging and hanging bags of donated clothes to be ready for the shop floor. Everyone got stuck in with a few pro’s among the group who are very familiar with the task, especially Lindsay, Jimmy and Stu who visited last week!

Our help was much appreciated by the Staff at Age UK especially Abby who kept us stocked up with clothes to sort, we filled 4 rails today! They were also very grateful for the donations Sarah, Dawn and Lynn brought along after their New Year sorting.

Great to see Samir has a new bike, Jimmy’s first question was his concern about its safety (reminding me of the times Jimmy used to lock my bike with his beeping alarm). I did wish that Stu had bought a new jacket, it really suited him!

Shout out to Lindsay and Lynn who want to take up the task force training to keep Leicester going from strength to strength with more the merrier Task force members.

Fantastic efforts everyone and great to see so many familiar faces keep up the great work and have a lovely weekend.

3 Goodgymers met at 10.30 for our volunteering role at the Age Uk warehouse.

We were greeted by Abby, who was really grateful for the help, as they've been inundated with donations. Lindsay and Jimmy had been before, so we're able to start immediately with tagging, pricing, and hanging the garments on the rail with the correct size cube.

Stu quickly picked up what to do and worked in tandem with Lindsay. Before we knew it, we'd filled the rail with 99p clothes, ready for the shop floor.

Todays team of six:Leese,Mel,Lindsay,Jimmy, Nick. Jeanette all met up at Age UK's Leicester warehouse/ store for a session at sorting,pricing and labelling clothes heading for the "99p sale" section. All items were checked for size and hung on the clothes hanger with the correct size cube. Lisa got cracking on organizing the empty clothes hangers into the size groups - the ocd'rs amongst appreciated the orderliness of the newly sorted hangers. Having done this task on a previous session Lindsay was straight into completing the task for each item: amend price, attach label, place item on clothes hanger, whereas a few of us split the job into seperate sections. Fuelled on biscuits and coffee in 90 minutes, we priced sized and sorted over 5 bags of donated clothes. The time flew too quickly, we could have carried on for a lot longer!
