Six GoodGymmers arrived to help the Full Fact team with some speedy painting. Full Fact is the UK's independent factchecking organisation, which works to improve the accuracy of public debate. They’re moving offices and needed some help to paint the older office to keep the costs down – they explained that we were basically helping them save a day’s operating costs giving a couple of hours!

We were offered a choice between Haribo and Nakd bars as our painting fuel, and unanimously opted for the full sugar option.

That decided, we got down to work. The edges of the walls were covered in masking tape; some of us then painted a border round the edges with brushes while others got to work in the middle with the rollers. With a couple of hours of steady work, we were done!
