Our lovely team of Trafford Goodgymers ran to help out at the Longford Centre tonight....and we had a blast!

We met as usual at St Matthew's Community Hall at 6.30pm and chatted about our news which included yet another Coach pairing which takes us to FIVE in Trafford - yippeeee! Once we'd warmed up we trotted off to the Longford Centre with Dave leading the way and Vicky and Gemma safely backmarking us.

Jeannie the fab Task owner was there waiting for us ready to introduce the centre which provides support and accommodation for local homeless people to help them move forward to secure permanent accommodation.

We managed to achieve the following while we were there:

  • Have a good sort out and re-organisation of the clothes donation room and turn it into a walk-in wardrobe that Carrie Bradshaw would appreciate
  • Clean up and tidy the medical/ support room
  • Clean up and tidy the ICT room
  • Wash up and dry for the Cookery class who were making delish dahl and garlic naans
  • Recruit a new member for GoodGym Trafford!
  • Finally manage a GoodGym hashtag photo!

It was great to have Anders and Meera back with us again - come and see us again soon!

Once we'd completed all our tasks we legged it back to base, stretched off and chatted about food (as usual!)

All in all a lovely night and another good lot of work achieved for the really excellent Longford Centre. See you all next time!
