Many hands make light work

In a record breaking turnout, 18 GoodGymers met at St Joseph's Hospice to help clear up after a fundraising jumble sale. The hospice was raising money for its work providing free support for people affected by serious illnesses. The jumble usually raises several thousand pounds to support this great cause.

Lets start with a couple of shout outs!  On this mission we were welcoming Aino, Agathe and Richard for their first ever GoodGym deeds. Great to have you along!

As the jumble closed, GoodGym got to work. Not everything from the sale sold today, and everything needed packing away to be stored in the container at the back until the next jumble.

We loaded up enormous blue trollies with bags of clothes, bedding, stacks of books, children's toys, bric-a-brac and racks of clothes, all to be sorted and stored in the right place.

As there were so many of us, we split into an upstairs team and a downstairs team, and in record breaking time, in just an hour all the jumble had been packed up.  In the past, the St Joseph's staff were tidying up into the evening, so having us along made an enourmous difference to them.

We finished with our traditional jumble pic, grabbing assorted bric-a-brac to pose for a group photo.

We'll be returning on 6 June for the next jumble sale so save the date!
