Both the sun and GoodGymmers were out in force this week volunteering at the Covid-19 vaccination centre in Swindon's STEAM museum. It was great to see the STEAM museum back open to the public, with lots of people combining getting their vaccine with a trip to the museum or a bit of shopping in the outlet village! This week we had to cope with high temperatures and no shade, but as always we got on with the task at hand, armed with plenty of water, suncream & hats. Luckily the centre is equipped with air-conditioning, so those of us volunteering inside had a much easier time. It doesn't feel long since these run reports mentioned frozen fingers & toes... you have to love the changeable British weather!

A huge thank you to all our regulars who give their time week after week to keep the roll-out of the vaccines running smoothly, helping us take a hugely important step back towards normality again.
