Four good gymers braved the cold weather to help local refugees to find warm clothes.

Ian, Ollie and Liz enjoyed a brisk jog to the centre, whilst Ingrid arrived at the task earlier.

The task was to remove the empty coat hangers and to tidy the rails, so that the clothes were arranged in size order.

The final task was to move the rails into the store cupboard.

Well done team!

The group were greeted at the Croydon Refugee Day Centre by Simon, who informed us of the tasks for the day.

We welcomed Danielle to her first session and also Khai, who was visiting from Greenwich GG.

After a busy day at the centre, the first task was to collect the empty coat hangers from the racks. The second task was to label and hang clothing items. The team completed this swiftly and asked for another task! The third task was to sort children's hats and leggings by size. The final task was a game of clothes rail Tetris, to move all of the clothing rails and boxes into a tiny store cupboard.

Well done team!

Many of the team met at the benches and walked to the task together. Welcome to Anna, who was on tour from Southwick GG and welcome back to Sunday.

The task was to sort through new donations, to label the clothing with the correct size and to hang on the racks. The team worked quickly and efficiently and soon all the donations were sorted through. At the end of the evening, the racks were put away in the cupboard.

Well done team! It was a very productive evening!

On Tuesday we welcomed Salem to his first of many sessions with us, he used to run but family life and children activities got the better of him. He is looking to get back into running and came across an ad for us and liked the idea of combining his runs with doing good.

Another highlight for us was having **Kate joining us on the task, having completed 26.2 miles on Sunday she was unable to jog to the task with us, she also brought her medal to show us, we congratulated her on her amazing achievement in completing her first marathon

We ran to Croydon Refugee Day Centre to assist them with their clothes donations, Simon was there to greet us and while we were waiting on the building to be opened he jumped at the opportunity to lead us in a fitness session. Following our fitness session we went inside the hall where there was clothes clothes for us to sort and hung. Myself Salem and Bassey were on hanger duty where we went around and collected all the empty hangers from the clothing rails, while Kate and Ingrid sorted the clothes to be hung on the rails. We were midway through sorting out the clothes, when Simon came in with treats treats for us.

Before long it was time to store away the clothing rails into the storage room and bid our farewell to Simon.

Last night we welcomed Oliver to his first group run, he found out about us via instagram. We had a task all booked and set to go ahead at the Refugee centre, hover due to some issues with the locks being changed we were unable to gain access and complete the planned task. Visit Oliver's page and give him some cheer.

All was not lost as Simon our host was on had to put the group through their paces with a fitness session, he had us doing lunges, wall sits, press ups against the railing and squats.

Simon appologised for not being able to get us into the building, but he seemed to have a good time putting us through our paces.

On our next visit, I'm planning on getting Simon to do our fitness session.

Last night we jogged/walked 2.21km to West Croydon Baptist Church, to assist Croydon Refugee Centre.

We welcomed Charley to her first Goodgym session.

We were met by Simon at the refugee centre who had a set of tasks ready for us to complete.

We separated into two groups one in the back room sorting clothes into the the boxes on the shelves into their respective age groups and the other in the main hall, going through the clothes rails removing empty hangers and sorting the clothes into the correct sizes on the clothes rails.

We learnt about Charley, and her adventures abroad while she learnt about us and all things Goodgym. We made sure not to overload her with too much information but gave her just enough to keep her enticed to join us next week for the other installment.

Did someone say Guinness?

Rumour has it someone we know may or may not be appearing in the Guinness Book of Records, sorry cannot say anymore than that at the moment.

Next week it’s the last Tuesday of the month, will you be joining us at the Bedford tavern after the group run for some food and drinks?
