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.

Five Goodgymmers made our first visit to the popular MIND warehouse for 2025. They had plenty of donation bags of clothes and shoes waiting to be opened and sorted into the correct storage boxes after we had attached a price label and size info. A great collection of new looking children's tap shoes and an interesting kaleidoscope of mens checked shirts.

It's the holiday season so we didn't have many Goodgymmers free. and MIND warehouse had asked for some help sorting donations as their staff are also away this week. Lindsay and Nick arrived to find a van load of mixed jigsaws and games piled in the warehouse. We sorted through the bags and made 2 piles. We also sorted any other items we found into their correct place - pottery, crafting items,, DVD's, kitchen tools and lots of cuddly toys. After 100 minutes we'd cleared the delivery and the. warehouse looked a lot tidier

With the supermarket cancelling our foodbank collection task at short notice, we needed somewhere else to go to do good. Our friends at the MIND Charity Warehouse had a mountain of book donations to sort through. Nick and Stu we soon onto emptying the donation pile and sorting them into Cookery, Children's, Hardbacks and good quality paperbacks. Low quality or damaged books go for recycling. The pile of donations was cleared and the piles of sorted books would be taken to their shops in the afternoon.

4 keen GoodGymmers came to Mind Charity Warehouse to help sort donations ready for the charity shops around the uk.

Nick and Stu were tasked with sticking labels on cd's and dvd's, Stu found the perfect pencil for the task, maybe he could borrow that.

Dawn was tasked with sorting the jewellery and accessories untangling and putting each item together. Interestingly any broken jewellery casualties i.e. missing diamonds or single earings are saved for a gentleman in Nottingham who creates wall art, I'd love to see these!

We also helped load a van with dvd's/ cd's more hands deffinatly made for a lighter load for the driver.

After a quick brew and catching up on the next races in Leicester and who's off to which parkrun it was time to depart, Stu can never resist buying something for his grandkids, all for a good cause, weldone team.

5 GoodGymmers headed over to the MIND Charity Warehouse, one of the regular charities in Leicester we support. Lovely to see Lindsay again and catch up.

Today we helped sort donation bags with items to supply the MIND charity shops or send to third world counties. We also tagged a big basket of clothes with their size that had already been sorted and checked for the shops. Only the top quality products get to be put on sale in the shops.

Whilst the ladies were busy the gentlemen were busy sorting the books, their favourite little corner. Stu found his next drinks bottle- a giant babies bottle!

Weldone all your help is very much appreciated by the team at Mind, look forward to seeing you next time.
