Another visit to the carriers of hope , 7 awesome goodgymers made it to the task tonight.. What a banger of a night 💥. No fire works needed!

It was all hands to the pumps as a lot of things needed shifting , resorting and packing on the shelves. All ready to be sent out for people when needed.

Lil , Laura , Lucy were sorting the bedding sheets , quilts and duvets. Also shredding all the old documents. Georgia was sorting out the cutlery and helping the guys. Nigel Chris and me had to reorganise the electrical shelf and make some room for everything to fit 🤞 Nigel was excellent at making space and fitting everything in tidily. !! Great to see Bose again and meet Steph ! All jobs completed on time and a good job done by all 🙌 !!

A wet and windy start to the month, didn't stop 6 Goodgymers making there way to the carriers of hope ! .

Bose and Michelle the from carriers of hope went to great efforts to get everyone in after the gates had been locked with the keys inside !! A potential disaster was averted🙌 phew !

Once we were all in it was a crate evening all round 🤣 ! Helping to move and unload the crates and sort out clothes for the adults that are helped by the Carriers of hope ! It was crate to see Chris there again and Lucy visiting for the first time ! We had to unload and unstack all the crates to find the correct clothes . And sort and separate all the clothes from the bedding and reload and stack everything back. A good workout to be fair , and another task completed! Always a pleasure to see Michelle and Bose and look forward to visiting them again next month !!

Lucy and Jackie from good gym joined an army of volunteers sorting through the hundreds of items left by students finishing their studies at Warwick Uni . They quickly set to work sorting stuff into clothes, bedding, electrical Kitchen etc . These will all be shared out to those in need either in the Uni or the wider community . A good mornings sorting ensuring that these items don’t end up in landfill !

11 Goodgymers strutted there stuff to Carriers of Hope last night, with a mixture of walkers, making their own way there and runners joining the group run.

A big welcome to new recruits; Va, Chris,Michelle Victoryand Bose! Kudos on popping your GoodGym cherry and rocking those snazzy new red t-shirts Bose and Michelle!

The group runners clocked a solid 9km during their jaunt, Chris and Vani you did amazing and thanks to Laura for back marking.

7 of the gang rolled up to Carriers of Hope by 6.15pm, while the rest of us sweat it out on the run. The runners eventually arrived at 7pm, just as the early birds were knee deep in a marathon of checking expiry dates and organising dried food donations into crates including tins,cans, sauces, pasta, you name it.

After a lightning fast 20 minutes the runners went full speed ahead back to CRCB. Meanwhile the rest of the crew kept the food sorting momentum going strong, well done team! Great to see you all, thank you for your hard work.

Next week is a new task at Earlsdon Primary School allotments so hope to see some of you there!

7 mighty GoodGymers arrived at the Carriers of Hope warehouse ready for action.

James, Nigel and Laura tackled the task of sorting through big buckets of miscellaneous items into crates, with James showcasing his unique folding techniques and Nigel serving up a side dish of jokes to keep morale high.

Meanwhile Georgia, Lil and Chloe bundled nappies into different sizes which proved to be a nice task, perfect for a leisurely chat without requiring too much focus, with Chloe cleverly labeling their workspace Nappy 'n' natter.

Chloe and Dale sorted some Christmas decs into a big box then Dale was left to fight a tangled mess of Christmas lights which had been put on good and proper. With a bit of a a wrestle he conquered one half of the chaotic knot but couldn't face the other so Laura came to help out. Luckily with a second to spare we emerged triumphant!

Brilliant work everyone!

5 GoodGymers helping out at Carriers of Hope this eve. We gathered at the warehouse and were quickly assigned tasks. Firstly we sorted large trolleys full of donations into organised crates. Then, we checked the tins for expiry dates , bagged toilet rolls, stacked nappies with elastic bands and assembled baby kits with all the essentials. The baby bags included some teddies from Blue Coates school with adorable handmade tags, warmly welcoming families to Coventry.

Great job team, we accomplished a lot tonight! Looking forward to hearing what you did with your ricotta cheese :)
