A beautiful sunny evening, four goodgymers turned up to Carriers of Hope for our monthly visit. The lovely Gloria was there to greet us, only we had a problem ,the main gateway was locked🙈 oh no! So we thought that was it and reluctantly said to Sharon and Lucy, who had arrived, that they might as well go home because we can’t get in! Myself and Gloria were just about to leave when someone came out and they had keys and opened the door so we could get in! Awesome👌!! Georgia came just as we gained access and Lucy came back as she was not too far away. Brilliant it was back on again.! So Georgia and I helped Gloria cut some carpet and after that it was on to sorting out all the new donations into crates and shelves accordingly. Alll different things , from curtains , clothes games and books, and we though we had found a stash of £50"s !! only it was napkins 😕 We managed to get four tubs cleared and sorted. A very successful evening despite the setback, so great work everyone 🙌”

Felt like Christmas again at our monthly visit to Carries of Hope! Six Goodgymers rolled up to help out: Georgia, Lucy, Laura, Sharon, Nigel, and myself. The awesome Michelle and Danni were there to greet us and guide us through our task. We all helped get the toys and games—donated before Christmas—to kids for presents. The ones that didn’t go, we took off the shelves, reorganised into categories and ages, labelled, and bagged up ready for next year! Nigel dodged the doo, Georgia was on the naughty list, but everyone else behaved and we finished in good time. Awesome guys 🙌

Nine GoodGymers visited Carriers of Hope,

We joined Steph, Gloria, and Emmanuel to sort through heaps and heaps of donated toys into neat age groups. From dolls to diggers, board games to books – every donation a perfect gift, with some amazing fun toys for the children to choose from!

It was a great turnout, and everyone pitched in to organise and prepare everything, lightening the load for the Carriers of Hope crew. Good work, everyone! 🙌

On Tuesday seventh October, Lil, James, Georgia and Jackie joined Bosse and Hamed at Carriers of Hope. We met Hamed for the first time and we were given the task of clearing the electrics shelf,. All the toasters, cables, lamps off cleared from one shelf and arranged perfectly on another. We then stacked incoming bedding and clothes there instead – proper space-saving. We were rewarded with a great cup of tea along the way by the awesome Bosse , that kept the work flowing fast !

On a wet November night , we headed to the Carriers of hope where we were greeted by Hamed , Gloria and with a welcomed cup of tea ! !
