GoodGym Swindon continue to support the COVID-19 vaccine role out at the STEAM museum. This week the weather was in full support in of the vaccine roll out, with glorious sunshine streaming down on our volunteers. In sharp contrast to a few weeks before, outside was the place to be!

This week even more of our GoodGymmers got involved;

Kirsty and Tracey were on car park duty, making sure everyone arriving for their vaccine knew where to go and could find a parking space near the vaccine centre. Always ones to have the GoodGym ethos close to their hearts, they combined their duties with a bit of exercise too! Earlier in the week, Jason & Stuart took on door duty, making sure the dress code of the clientele was up to scratch... good practice for when clubs open up again! Gina was on the all-important exit duty, making sure that everyone had waited for long enough after their vaccine and was safe to leave and head back home. This role is the last point of contact volunteers have with those getting their vaccine, and Gina reported lots of kind comments and messages of thanks to all the wonderful NHS staff and volunteers.
