For tonight's group session we teamed up with the Merton Rotary Club and Faith in Action for the Santa sleigh collections. Starting with a small team at the meeting point we soon snowballed as more volunteers joined us along the route and there was snow stopping us once we got moving.

With the festive tunes blasting we were (rockin' around the Christmas tree) knocking on doors and shaking our buckets. It was heartwarming to see the excitement on the kids' faces as Santa passed by and the community was incredibly generous.

A massive well done to everyone who came out to help. Yule be glad to know you’ve definitely made the Nice List this year!

We will be back next week helping with more collections so why not sign up and join us: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/helping-with-marshalling-the-santa-sleigh-and-collecting-for-charity-c8ab3799-3be4-4cc8-99bf-d431721eb9a5

A massive festive effort from the team today at St. James Church in Morden helping set up their annual Christmas Fair. It was a great physical session with plenty of heavy lifting, moving tables, chairs, and countless boxes from storage to the main stall areas.

Thanks to our trademark GoodGym speed and muscle we completed the main setup in just 30 minutes. Leaving plenty of time to help with the organising phase, assisting with setting out the items on the stalls, and grabbing a well-deserved cuppa before heading out into the evening. A lovely contribution to the festive season's volunteering efforts.

This festive mission took us to Deen City Farm to help transform the space, ready for Santa's Grotto visits. The team had a brilliant time channeling their inner elves. We worked on creating the enchanting scene: assembling Christmassy arches draped with lights, setting out candy cane pathways, and making friends with some polar bears.

What a fun way to bring some Christmas magic to the community. We are looking forward to being back next week for elfing duties, why not join us: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/elf-support-at-deen-city-farm-0243bc94-e4ae-4faa-bf54-6436ae548cec
