Helping refugees to find clothes easily in the correct size when needed
Tue 19th Nov at 7:30pm
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!

Croydon Report written by Ingrid Buchanan
With head torches shining bright for our first community mission since the clocks changed, Liz, Ollie and Ingrid joined volunteers from the White Horse Community Garden for a litter pick.
We even found a shopping trolley which helped with transporting the bags to the drop off point.
This was our first visit to the Community Garden and we enjoyed a thankfully rain-free evening with tea and biscuits offered in the hut afterwards.

Croydon Report written by Ingrid Buchanan
Despite the heavy rain, three brave GoodGymers, Ros, Ollie and Ingrid, met up with residents of East Croydon Community Organisation (ECCO), to tidy flower beds along the Boulevard. As well as litter picking, we cut back ivy and brambles, and cleared leaves. At the end of the evening we had filled 16 bags and the flower beds looked a lot tidier. The rain stopped just as we had finished!
