We hit the Little ARK Sew-cial to help wrap things up. First, we got stuck stuffing draft excluders helping attendees (including Zahrah who had arrived earlier to learn how to sew!) finish off their projects and clear away the mountain of fabric scraps.

Once the machines stopped, the speed-cleaning started. We cleared tables and swept the floor in record time, proving that thread is no match for a broom. The space was transformed from a textile explosion back to a tidy hall in a flash.

It was a quieter Sew-cial than usual today, but with tables to put away there was a little more to do than usual and few volunteers to help! Fortunately extra hands turned up just in time so we packed up the equipment and reset the room fairly quickly.

Despite the rainy weather trying to dampen our spirits, the Sew-cial session was a hive of activity and plenty.

When it came time to pack everything away, plenty of hands were ready to jump in. We worked quickly to clear the space, folding fabrics and packing up supplies in record time.

It was a full house for tonight's group session as 14 GoodGymers descended upon Little ARK to help. With a varied list of tasks including shifting furniture and folding reels of fabric, the main challenge was navigating the bags and boxes across three rooms and a hallway!

We tackled the space like true professionals, working mostly in smaller groups to ensure everything was moved safely and the fabric was folded to perfection. It was a masterclass in logistics and teamwork.

A huge welcome to our two newest members, Ahsan and Lisa - we hope to see you again soon. We were also joined by Rob, a seasoned GoodGym veteran - welcome back.

The little ARK space had been transformed. Well done, team!

Last-minute call during my lunch break to help the team pack away after their "Sew-cial" session. It was a quick but effective mission, getting everything tidied and stored away so the space was ready for its next use.

Helping the Little ARK team wrap up their launch event by clearing away the remains of the celebration and tidying the space. From packing up food to clearing the final bits and bobs, we made sure everything was carried downstairs and loaded into the car - a little lifting to end the day.
