On this beautiful sunny morning We had an amazing task that required our help. 🌞

All aboard club got in touch with Goodgym Woking to ask us if we could help set up a big train set for children to play within an ADHD/Autism safe play session.

Wayne, Kirsty, Anne met along the canal to run to Brookwood memorial halls. Along the way Kirsty was very vigilante and moved branches off the pavement that had blown down. In total between the 3 of us we ran 15k 🏃‍♀️

When we arrived we met Richard & Lindsey. Richard explained to us that he set all aboard club many years ago and they go all over the South East bring enjoyment to kids who love trains. We got stuck in straight away by taking out all the boxes of tracks and trains from the back of the car and taking them inside. The great part of this was we could build any tack as long as it all connected. We all started in each corner of the hall and started to build.We were very lucky we had a young volunteer Freddie who was with his mum. Freddie was amazing and very creative and guided us how to build the track. After an hour the whole floor area was covered with this amazing track with trains & houses it looked amazing. As we just finished up kids started to come in to enjoy their play session the smiles on their faces as they saw the track was wonderful to see. 🚂

We said our goodbyes I headed off back to work while Kirsty & Anne ran back along the canal.

All aboard club have asked us if we could help again so look out for future tasks that will be put on the dashboard if people to sign up to.

This coming Wednesday we are meeting at the RSPCA to do some painting in the reception area hope to see many of you there. 😊

Thanks for all your help today - it was really appreciated. We had some brilliant tracklayers today. Look forward to having more GoodGymers coming along for our future sessions. We're in Brookwood next on Sunday 28 April. - Richard
