Tonight five GoodGymmers put their muscles to the test, as we helped the folks at Brighton Youth Centre to prepare for their imminent move while their usual home is renovated.

Together we lifted and shifted chairs, tables, cabinets and boxes down two flights of stairs - ready to be either moved to the new premises, recycled or donated to the community.

With so much to be done the volunteers at BYC were grateful for the extra (wom)man-power, and we're excited to visit them in their new home soon!

Brighton Youth Centre is an important and much-loved hub for young people in Brighton, providing space to socialise, activites and even a rooftop skatepark.

9 shorter goodgymers, and 1 tall goodgymer jogged to the new premises of Brighton Youth Centre which is in a building that used to house an entertainment venue based around optical illusions- cue a migrane inducing spotted carpet and deep purple walls!

The GoodGym-ers got to work clearing a back storage room of fun games such as table football and space invader machines. We took the job very seriously, ensuring the table football worked after being reassembled by having a quick kick about! ;-)

We then donned our 'people at work' overalls and transformed the back room from dark purple, adding the first coat of white paint, and the office area from blood red to clean white. The one tall GoodGym-er amongst us (thanks Rob!) was designated ceiling cutter inner.

An awful lot was accomplished in a short time, leaving time for the more hardened amongst us to join Pippa for a quick fitness session around the Queen Victoria Gardens.

We always have a great fun at the Brighton Youth Centre and we will be soon back!
