21 GoodGymers ran 4km to help Age UK at a NEW TASK sorting & cleaning the Drovers Centre

This week we had a NEW TASK in GG Islington - we were off to help the Age UK Islington Drovers Centre in the Caledonian Park area. As Rachel explained this centre is used for people who are 50+ to come and do activities. There were lots to help them sort out, tidy up and clean up the centre.

Getting into diferent groups we did the following:

• A group of 10 gave the kitchen a MASSIVE big clean, washing and cleaning everything in sight. And importantly emptying all the cupboards, cleaning them out and then finding the right and new home for kitchenware.
• A team of 5 moved 20 chairs into the basement and helped rearrange the area down there.
• Another team of 5 emptied a cupboard of everything from gardening tools to a Lord of the Rings on VHS was in there! Corrr! This cupboard clearly had not been emptied in years so we sorted the pile it into four sections - charity shop, rubbish, recycle and keep.
• There were sorting and clearing jobs going on all over the place

To finish off we formed a chain and passed everything we in the keeping pile back into the cupboard. Over 35 minutes we got so much done and Rachel from the centre was really thankful.

Sign up for the next here when we have another NEW TASK helping Blackstock Triangle Gardeners help prepare for Islington in Bloom.

PB out.
