We turned up en masse for our task at Spark this evening, with running, walking and cycling groups heading over.

Charla had a list of jobs for us to do, from cleaning the kitchen, taking down shelves, sorting donations and washing windows.

Laura and Jane were excited to test out the steamers on the glass work, whilst Aoife took Henry Hoover on an incredible journey around the whole Spark Space!

Lucy took charge of ripping down curtains, whilst Ellie and Dave were on their knees scrubbing stains out of the carpets.

Becky from Spark spotted all of the GoodGymers arriving on the security cameras and headed down to help Charla supervise us - "It was a like a swarm of ants arriving!!" was my favourite quote of the night!

Look out for another Group Run coming up at Spark - Becky and Charla have a massive clothes sorting task for us and promise the opportunity of a GoodGym fashion show after!
