Portsmouth GoodGymers searched at the back of their linen cupboards and their bathroom storage to donate 30 towels, of all colours of the rainbow.

The towels will re-stock the cupboards of the RSPCA's animal rescue centre in West Sussex, where pets receive care and treatment while waiting for their forever home.

Can I ask if you all run to the RSCPA rescue centre, and how you organised this, as this is something we are thinking about doing in Luton, but not sure how to make it a genuinely active task. Would love to know more. Thanks.

Hi Gill, GoodGymers bring the donations to another Group Run or Community Mission and are encouraged to run, walk or cycle with the item. We've had other donation type tasks when each person drops off their item individually to a collection point, again encouraged to use their own activity to get there.
