Sale Rail time

Friday 19th December 2025

Written by Nick Pryke

Five Goodgymmers visited the Leiceter AgeUK superstore to help with sorting their vast stock of clothing. This time it was marking down red bags of clothes for the sale rails. Most were already labelled so we quickly moved through filling a couple of rails. This was Sam's first Goodgym task - Welcome Sam and hope to see you again.

Celebrating teamwork and a GoodGym milestone

Friday 23rd January

Written by Sarah

At the Mind Charity Warehouse, Nick, Lindsay, and Julie volunteered their time to support the charity by sorting donated clothing and tagging items ready to be placed on sale rails in Mind Charity shops. Their work helped ensure donations were processed efficiently and prepared to generate vital funds for the charity.

The team found the experience enjoyable and rewarding, with time flying by as they worked together. Their positive attitude and teamwork made a real difference to the warehouse operation.

A special congratulations goes to Julie, who completed her 10th GoodGym good deed during this session, a fantastic milestone and a brilliant achievement. Weldone to everyone involved for their hard work and commitment.
