Just as Spring had sprung, five GoodGym movers and shakers sprung into action, uniting to lift and shift tables, chairs and sofas to help with Cambridge Festival's Family Weekend pack-down.

Within 50 minutes we had moved an array of furniture over two floors, clearing three rooms of trestle tables used for activities, and a room full of sofas and coffee tables used for a pop-up cafe. Caroline and Daiana were sofa queens, Andrew and Sadiya put in no-table efforts with the trestles, and I had a very up-lifting time supporting movement between floors.

It turns out many hands really do make light work and once the tables were turned we sat for a moment to admire our work and chairish our time together.

Until next year!

This weekend we headed over to the Cambridge Museums site to help set up and pack down the Cambridge Fesival's Family Weekend. We had a warm welcome from Jennie and the team who were busy getting everything organised for a fun weekend of workshops and activities.

It was brilliant to have new GoodGymer, Hope, join us for her first community misson 💪

In true GoodGym style, we cracked on with the heavy lifting, moving tables, chairs and sofas to help set up activity rooms and relaxation rooms.

There was a buzzing atmosphere and it was a great task for some strength training!
