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!

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!

This evening the team went to the Salvation Army. Chris told us about the valuable work which takes place there, supporting recovering alcoholics.

The task was to remove weeds from the car park and to complete a litter pick and tidy of the plants around the building.

The team worked hard. The Salvation Army now has the cleanest car park in Croydon!!

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!
