Alex, Harriet, Ivar and Sam met Andrea at St. Faith's Community Centre to sort out and pack the donations to be given out at the GoodGym Westminster group run on Tuesday night. They all arrived in different ways: Ivar and Sam walked and took the public transport whilst Alex ran to the task and Harriet drove. It was a few minutes after work after all.

Newbies Alex and Harriet were in good spirits and good form as they were excited to be at their first GoodGym session. We sorted through donations collected by Andrea earlier today in central London before packing them into bags according to type. Most of the items were meant for rough sleepers and went into the van, but a few items found their home for the week in Shed 1 as they are bound to be swooped up in next week's Open House.

Despite being scheduled for an hour and a half, the team blasted through the task in half the time.

Well done everyone and it was great to see Ivar again and meet newbies: Alex and Harriet. Hope to see you all around sometime soon!
