GoodGym "Rains" the Cleanup!

Wednesday 3rd September

Written by Jade

A callout for volunteers at Merton's Community Fridge was answered by our dedicated GoodGym members. They tackled the post-distribution clean-up dealing first with the numerous boxes. A sudden downpour added a new challenge with some strategic "rain-dodging" to get everything into the bins. But a little rain can't dampen our spirit - we got it done!

Moving on up!

Thursday 28th August

Written by Jade

A small but mighty team of two GoodGymmers tackled a big lifting job at Merton's Community Fridge this evening, helping to organise and create much-needed space! With more and more people relying on the Fridge, every inch counts. We worked tirelessly, moving boxes and re-stacking crates to open up the area, hopefully making it easier for the collection and distribution teams to access the food.

The three clean-sketeers

Wednesday 20th August

Written by Jade

Three regulars helped out at Merton's Community Fridge tonight, working tirelessly, giving crates and boxes a much-needed scrub, and sorting through a mountain of rubbish. It was a fantastic effort, and thanks to their hard work, the Fridge and recycling bin is sorted and ready for the next session 🤞.

Spud-tacular clean up

Wednesday 6th August

Written by Jade

Merton's Community Fridge post-distribution clean-up session was just what was needed to end the day. The volunteers had fun learning about the recent changes and of course there was plenty of cleaning to be done and a huge amount of potatoes to shift.

A big welcome to Djuna, who joined for the first of hopefully many more sessions.

We are back on Wednesday 20th so sign up and get involved of your can.

A Fridge-tastic clean up

Wednesday 23rd July

Written by Jade

Tonight, we helped out at Merton's Community Fridge with the post-distribution clean-up, and what a refreshing session it was! It was brilliant to see so many familiar faces back in action, and a huge welcome to Suja, who joined us for a trial after only recently hearing about us. Everyone pitched in, and we absolutely smashed through the jobs, leaving the Fridge sparkling tidy, as always! 💪 Great work, team!

Extra cool cleaners

Wednesday 16th July

Written by Jade

Extra Goodgymers attended Merton's Community Fridge to help with the post-distribution clean-up today. The earlier start time allowed for some prep work, but there was still plenty to do, including a vital mission to fix the bin sign! It was a satisfying session despite a few changes to the way things were done.
