Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin

3 Goodgymers practised their packing skills to support LWS Night Shelter with organising their donations at their new storage facility.

It was great to see all the new shelving in place at the storage unit. Tonight's task involved helping to re-pack donations from their temporary boxes and crates into more permanent boxes that fit nicely on the new storage racks, helping to make the most efficient use of the space and making it easier to find items.

We started with the toiletries, transferring over toothbrushes, toothpaste and shower gel into boxes and stacking them in their new homes according to the shelving plan. Next we stacked a box of beans on their new shelf. We finished off with transferring some hats, gloves and socks from their current enormous boxes that don't fit on the shelving at all, into boxes that fit perfectly on the shelves, allowing them to be placed in the correct spot.

With an hour of sorting under our belt, we headed back out into the cold for a jog around Victoria Park and the Pump Room Gardens.

It was great to see things taking shape at the storage facility and will be fantastic once all the donations are sorted and in their new home.
