I enjoyed unpacking and placing them ready to distribute to the poor and needy I’d also like to thank all those who assisted with nonverbal instctions any Mary’s and at good gym.,They also kept a good eye on any possible risks to safety as I am quite deaf.,I did note however that most things done at church are spoken so it may not the best place to do longer term or paid work.

After last week's pram raid, Steph, Kash and Sevan found a free-to-take pushchair on the way to Care4Calais. It was in good condition, so they decided to donate it to someone in need. The only question was who would play mummy or daddy? Steph volunteered and tested out the handling on the way to C4C's West London base where it was gratefully received.

At the task, the trio found that Anita was a late sign up and had found her way to the secret location. Welcome to GoodGym, Anita! 👏🥳🎉 We look forward to seeing you at another session soon.

Today's jobs for Tamzin were dependent on the levels of clothing stock, so Steph and Kash started creating womens' small packs, then large, then extra large. No medium? No stock! Care4Calais would love some donations of good quality medium sized clothes if you have any to spare.

Anita meanwhile was sorting clothes with Tamzin and deciding which ones were good enough quality to keep. Big holes and unidentified stains were some of the reasons that donations were redirected to fabric recycling. Once complete, they moved on to preparing requests for male clients.

With building the standard womens' clothing packs completed, it was time to use them. New clothing requests were brought in and Sevan joined the team in adding shoes, handbags and coats for the winter to customise the packs. Kash even managed to pull together enough clothes for a couple of clients who needed medium sizes.

By the end of the task, there was a stack of requests ready to be delivered to needy people. We'll be back helping Care4Calais again next month, so look out for the session listings soon.
