Splendid Sunday work

By the time I arrived at this Sunday drop-in session, the team were already well into their task: knee deep in crates, stock and stock- taking.

As a real newbie to this task, I was very relieved to be shown the ropes so brilliantly by Jen who patiently answered numerous questions I had about the process of counting hundreds and hundreds of items all needing to be relocated to very good homes.

The team were working quietly under the careful eye of project co-ordinator Richard who regularly walked around checking in on us all.

And the team grew as the minutes ticked by: soon we were joined by GoodGymers from neighbouring boroughs, as the operation grew slowly, before we all dispersed for lunch.

After my crate-packing cameo, I headed out, rotating out of my shampoo and conditioner packing role and leaving Martin safely in Eva's expert hands.

No doubt more members arrived for the afternoon shift.

Well done team.

Richard was explaining the great work you're doing - enabling the completion of spreadsheet after spreadsheet of your finely packed items, ready for these necessities to go on to very, very good homes all over the country.

(If anyone arrived after I left who has photos, or other report additions they'd like included, either pop them in here or email them to me at laura@goodgym.org!)
