6 GoodGymers ran 4K to sort donations for One Big Family Homeless Charity.

With a nation captivated by the World Cup Semi Final a select band of runners kept the GoodGym movement rolling in Westminster!

Running smoothly down to through the much quieter than normal Central London streets we zipped down to the Pimlico area to meet Mike from One Big Family.

Unfortunately the council have decided the charity is now not allowed to keep its donations in the youth Club any more. This means they have 3 lock ups and with space at a premium lots of help will be needed to organise and shift the donations. With a big run scheduled for Thursday to take a load of sanitary and baby supplies to the Oasis Charity is Battersea we had to find what we could in the sheds and get the rest of the stuff into easy to access locations and with similar items for a more efficient service can be provided.

Getting nappies, toothbrushes, wipes, finding baby clothes, toys and pairing booties all ready for the morning.

Once that was done we organised the rest of the stuff into specific areas of each lock up before locking up had heading on our way!

Thanks for coming along, our small efforts made a big impact for a tiny charity to function. Great Job!!

See you next week
