It had been a couple of weeks since attending to help but I was warmly welcomed to complete the usual routine with some minor changes to the layout and the addition of cheerful daffodils to adorn the tables

Lent a hand at The Open Table to set up then got chopping and.preparing mountains of onions (sliced rainbows was the brief) for a delicious soup.

2 Goodgymers rolled up their sleeves to help clean up after today's Open Table lunch session. We tackled many dishes, sudsing our way through plates and cutlery whilst in between loads, discretely clearing tables.

We hope to support The Open Table from time to time so do join us if you can.

For our second group run, our dedicated band of volunteers descended on Martin Way Methodist Church ready to banish grime and spring clean the kitchen!

We tackled the cupboards and fridges with cloths and a selection of cleaning products, plus some rather funky black plastic gloves that someone brought along.

From sticky shelves to dusty corners we meticulously cleaned, organised and returned the contents to their rightful places. Hopefully the various groups that share the space will have us back and we can work on the island and the crockery.

With the extra helpers (half-termers) today setting up for The Open Table was done in half the time!

The next Goodgym Merton group run and session will be cleaning the kitchen for The Open Table team and other groups that use the space including the Merton Night Shelter, so join us if you can: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/kitchen-spring-clean-tidy

Took an early morning walk over to support the team at Martin Way Methodist church with setting up for The Open Table. The space had been used overnight for the Merton Winter Night Shelter so we helped with vacuuming then got things set up with time to spare for some onion chopping. A great way to start the day!
