With temperatures dropping dramatically this week the impact of this task to get a coat to everybody in london who needs it this winter was clear. But when six GGers turned up to a huge storage space in Morden the scale of the job was enormous! 4000 coats and counting needed to be sorted, so we wasted no time in getting stuck in. We bagged up, shifted sacks, assessed donations and finally got to grips with those cable ties! We'll be back for the next session on saturday 30th to get through the next few thousand!

2 Goodgymers signed up to volunteer at Morden Parkrun helping with the set up and barcode scanning. As first timers it wasn't too difficult to get stuck in on what was a chilly morning.

2 further Goodgymers arrived at the finish line after the run, and joined us to help with barcode scanning and putting the equipment away. We even managed to give out a few leaflets.

Afterwards we headed for a coffee to discuss all things Goodgym Merton and share ideas for getting the area and tasks up and running and to encourage new members to sign up. A great way to spend a Saturday morning and great to meet everyone.

Thanks Andy, Louise, Kate and the rest of the Morden Parkrun team for having us and we look forward to supporting with another event soon.

This evening Georgina and myself cleaned boxes, fridges. Sorted out the Recycling, also weighing and getting rid of the food that could not be kept. The time flew.
