Clothing Coventry gave us a good workout today! We shifted heavy sacks of clothes over to their warehouse next door to make space for some shiny new donated racks and equipment — a very welcome boost for the team.

We moved everything quicker than expected, and with ten minutes to spare, we powered through a speedy sort of all the newly donated clothes — ragging the damaged items and organising the good stuff into men's, women's, and kids' sections.

Great session — well done, everyone!

***Four goodgymers had a fab session supporting Clothing Coventry. *

As the weather was really hot, and we also had a few donations to take down, we opted for a leisurely walk down to the warehouse. Once we arrived, we were soon greeted by Jo and Katie who showed us what needed doing tonight. We focused on making up clothings packs for children and size checking clothes. We then had a short, chatty walk back to the city centre in the lovely June sunshine.

Great session tonight everyone.

5 goodgymers helped Clothing Coventry sort donations.

Marcelle, Swapna and I took a gentle run to the warehouse, whilst James opted for cycling.

We sorted clothing by category and suitability to help the charity get the most from their donations.

We also welcomed new member Swapna tonight! We look forward to welcoming you back on a group sesson again soon.

Great work everyone!

Eight Coventry Goodgymers ran and cycled approximately 5km to Clothing Coventry this week.

With a surge in donations after Christmas, there were lots of moving and sorting tasks to keep us busy! We had a brief introduction to Clothing Coventry, then we set to work moving boxes of donated trainers from one warehouse to another, putting clothing on hangers according to size and making up packs of baby clothes with t-shirts, PJs and jumpers. Clothing Coventry supported over 6800 people last year and this year is already looking like it will be even busier!

Welcome and well done to our new members Tessa Helen and welcome back Marcelle it is fab to see you again and catch up!

6 Goodgymers went to the Clothing Coventry warehouse for our regular donation sorting session.

Our task for this evening was to sort jumper donations into sizes and put them on hangers ready for people to collect. With snow this morning and more cold weather forecast, warm clothing will be very much needed.

Six Coventry Goodgymers (including one newbie - welcome Andy went to Baby Godiva to help with unloading vans to Baby Godiva's shiny new premises.

When the vans arrived, we made quick work of unloading and moving items to different locations in the new space, including buggies, moses baskets, toys and clothes. Whilst we waited for another van to appear, we sorted the mountain of nappies into different sizes, stocked up the shelves with baby bath products, wipes and other essentials, and recycled the cardboard boxes.

Baby Godiva were really pleased with what we were able to do, we hope to be back soon for some more sorting fun!
