Today's visit to Care4Calais provided a lot of variety, with plenty of different jobs to work through. There was variety in the location too, almost, as the GoodGymers were supposed to meet at a storage unit, then a last minute change had them unexpectedly climbing back up the hill to the Care4Calais HQ.

Once in the right place, Kash and Sevan started outside (in the shade, thankfully), on a fold out table adding socks to boxes and boxes full of pre-made clothing packs. They came out of the car, were socked up, then went straight back in. Getting them back in involved a complicated game of Tetris for one person. 😅

Moving to the cool of indoors, there were a handful of new requests to fulfil, with many of them needing shoes. Shoes are constantly moving around Care4Calais' on-site storage, so task owner Tamzin often needs to explain the new system. This time, boxes were perched on top of other boxes in a corner and there were a lot of used running shoes. Kash was on the hunt for some size 11s and could only find some New Balance with all sizing labels rubbed clean. Hopefully they're the right size for the recipient. 🤞

Next was a quick session of making extra large men's standard clothing packs, then onto sorting and sizing an big pile of men's donations. The same pile that had been left to one side last week as they focused on women's stock. Today, Sevan became the sizing model, as everyone tried to work out whether unlabelled clothes were small, medium or large.

Time flew by and Tamzin was happy to have all of the jobs on her list crossed off. For the GoodGymers that was rewarding too and it was great to spend 2 hours at an indoor task, away from the heat of the afternoon sun! 👌🌞
