6 Goodgymmers crushed the hills of North London on a chilly night to offer a hand to the wonderful Cranwood Homeless Shelter

Cranwood is packed with guests during lockdown and they are trying to free up more space to accomodate them more comfortably. And that's where we came in!

Last night, we were helping them transform a conservatory currently used for storage into a much-needed basement dining room.

Our Goodgymmers first made easy work of some very heavy lifting, moving anything and everything that wasn't clothing or bedding out of the conservatory and there was a lot! Big heavy TVs, radiators, boxes packed full of DVDs, even a ping pong table - you name it, it was probably in there.

Not content with the arms workout, our next job was moving out all the bedding and storing it on the bedding cupboard, 2 floors up! So. Many. Steps. But our Goodgymmers took it in good spirits and within the hour, and far too many trips up to stairs to keep count, we had left the conservatory a long way closer to becoming a dining hall. 

But you know the thing about stairs - they are always up to something, just like us at GGH. So it was time to say goodbye and we all ran into the night, grateful that most of our ways home were downhill.

Don't forget to give our #Haringopoly a try. 

Stay safe <3
