Three regular attendees were joined by two new members to help out at the big Leicester AgeUK shop. Regulars Lynn and Lindsey had brought some bags of donations so booked them in for GiftAid. New member Sam was using a community day off from work and had found us through Google - nice one Sam. Along with new member Pardeep they soon got into the swing of tagging and hanging many bags of clothes ready to go out onto the shop floor. Meanwhile Nick was asked to bag up a big pile of clothes that had come off the shopfloor. More clothes were appearing on the pile almost as fast as he could fill the bags. It's a big, busy, shop that gets through a lot of stock which they rotate round to keep it fresh The session was soon over and we had two full rails and a dozen newly filled bin bags of stock. All that was left to do was a quick look around the shop where one or more of us always finds something to buy.

8 Goodgymers joined up with 3 CRT volunteers to get cracking on tidying up the towpath. Mel, Dave, Lindsay, Lynn and Julie along with CRT Pete collected between them 11 bags of rubbish. Today's pick of the day seemed to be bags of prawns (thrown into the river). Jen, Nick, Mohamed and CRT Alison and Rich worked on clearing the weeds off the towpath.
After lots of hard work the teams completed their tasks leaving the towpath looking spik and span. Mohamed ran 11km to the task today, well done for getting fitter whilst doing good!

Goodgymmers Lindsay and Nick relabeled a rail of trousers then tag a bag of kids clothes at Age UK Superstore. Their efforts greatly appreciated by age uk as always weldone both 👏.
