Report written by Tom Peacock

Wizzard wished it could be Christmas every day but unfortunately for frontman Roy Wood, it hasn’t happened just yet.

What went up had to come down at SeeAbility’s assisted living centre in Surbiton. Unfortunately, gale force winds left a few intended GG members stranded at Waterloo but after a punchy-length run for a January pipe-opener, we had a team good to go.

Dave and Tom were relieved the storm had calmed down so they could get up the ladder and remove the Christmas lights from the outside of the building. Meanwhile, Rachel, Jade, Julie, Petra, Claire, Ally and GG legend Martel got to work taking down decorations and cleaning the windows.

SeeAbility is a rewarding place to visit. Its young residents are dealing with difficulties but both they, and the charming staff, were delighted to see us.

We brought some colour to the bright room at the back by making several displays with stickers of birds and butterflies on the windows, restoring some cheer without Christmas.

Welcome to Ally on her first GoodGym task! Lovely to meet you and hope to see you again soon.
