The inclement weather continued this week and 8, (yes 8), GoodGymers Turned it On Again to help the Genesis trust with multiple tasks. So it rained again, but conveniently for the rain only for the journey time to and from the mission.

But that was helpful for the three GoodGymers that were weeding the drive outside of the warehouse, probably a little annoying for the others that were given tasks indoors.

Let's have a roll call, Ruth, Kate, Sarah, Helen, Tanya, Emily, Mike and Meyrick, What a turn out, but our kind host ensured we all had a Job to Do.

Sarah, Tanya and Meyrick set about weeding outside and managed to complete all areas designated for this job in the hour we had.

Elsewhere, there was no Misunderstanding as plenty of work was to be done. Genesis Trust don't just do food, they also do books, and a good deal of these needed to be sorted into boxes, GoodGymers Ruth, Kate, Helen, Emily and Mike getting right in and Carpet Crawling as they boxed books and flattened boxes.

Another successful mission, we did so much in one hour, good work team.

(apologies for the really bad Genesis song references in this report)

It’s always a joy to visit the Nest Project. They support families facing financial pressure by donating clothing, equipment and toiletries for under fives in Bath and North East Somerset.

For GoodGym Bath it’s a wonderful opportunity to help out and get to see some seriously cute clothes. I came across a tiny bear coat with separate paw bootees. I wish I’d taken a snap as it was adorable. I’m sure the child who gets it will look even more sweet.

The team at the Nest told us that demand for their service is higher than ever. Parents are asking for help with things like wet wipes and toiletries as well as clothes for their little ones. The project gets referrals from the various Foodbanks across the area and is also able to direct families to aid if necessary.

They do get some interesting requests. Recently they were approached by one mum who had twins unexpectedly. The Nest supplied a cot so she had somewhere for both her babies to sleep.

Our main job - once we got to the site after a quick jog from Victoria Park - was to move boxes of donations from downstairs to upstairs and back again. Every six months or so there’s a bit of a turnaround at the project, putting winter clothes away and getting out the summer collection and vice versa.

There was a bit of sorting and some major juggling of boxes to fit them in the various spaces. It was a bit like a game of Tetris.

There was even a major Chuckle Brothers moment as Richard and new GoodGymer Martin freed up some space on top of the cupboards and made safe some precariously stacked chairs.

Everyone survived and we were able to run back knowing we’d done a good Goodgym job.

A special welcome to Sarah, who was also on her first mission, and well done to Tanya, Kate and Helen for their hard work too.
