Little Ark came to our rescue, and we were able to come to theirs as they needed our help to make bags for carrying liquids. So it was that the GoodGymers found themselves cleaning waterproof banners, and using templates to cut lengths of waterproof fabric from an erstwhile banner, all ready for stitching. Knowing our limitations, that step was left for the professionals.

Tonight’s group session at Merton’s Community Fridge proved that no two missions are ever quite the same. We were originally tasked with moving and replacing shelving, which involved shifting a large number of items from the storage area - but the task list quickly grew as we gained more sign ups!

In true GoodGym style, we took it all in our stride. While some of us handled a decanting of pet food job, others tackled the opportunity to deep-clean the elusive spaces behind the fridges. Whilst of course the shelves were built, moved and dismantled. Fortunately, Ben had a toolbox on hand to provide that extra GG magic, ensuring the new shelves were securely fixed to the wall.

It was a fantastic productive night - what an amazing team effort. A big welcome to Atif and Ben for joining your first ever Merton group session. We really hope to have you join us again soon.

It was a full house for tonight's group session as 14 GoodGymers descended upon Little ARK to help. With a varied list of tasks including shifting furniture and folding reels of fabric, the main challenge was navigating the bags and boxes across three rooms and a hallway!

We tackled the space like true professionals, working mostly in smaller groups to ensure everything was moved safely and the fabric was folded to perfection. It was a masterclass in logistics and teamwork.

A huge welcome to our two newest members, Ahsan and Lisa - we hope to see you again soon. We were also joined by Rob, a seasoned GoodGym veteran - welcome back.

The little ARK space had been transformed. Well done, team!
