Felt like Christmas again at our monthly visit to Carries of Hope! Six Goodgymers rolled up to help out: Georgia, Lucy, Laura, Sharon, Nigel, and myself. The awesome Michelle and Danni were there to greet us and guide us through our task. We all helped get the toys and games—donated before Christmas—to kids for presents. The ones that didn’t go, we took off the shelves, reorganised into categories and ages, labelled, and bagged up ready for next year! Nigel dodged the doo, Georgia was on the naughty list, but everyone else behaved and we finished in good time. Awesome guys 🙌

Nine GoodGymers visited Carriers of Hope,

We joined Steph, Gloria, and Emmanuel to sort through heaps and heaps of donated toys into neat age groups. From dolls to diggers, board games to books – every donation a perfect gift, with some amazing fun toys for the children to choose from!

It was a great turnout, and everyone pitched in to organise and prepare everything, lightening the load for the Carriers of Hope crew. Good work, everyone! 🙌

On Tuesday seventh October, Lil, James, Georgia and Jackie joined Bosse and Hamed at Carriers of Hope. We met Hamed for the first time and we were given the task of clearing the electrics shelf,. All the toasters, cables, lamps off cleared from one shelf and arranged perfectly on another. We then stacked incoming bedding and clothes there instead – proper space-saving. We were rewarded with a great cup of tea along the way by the awesome Bosse , that kept the work flowing fast !

On a wet November night , we headed to the Carriers of hope where we were greeted by Hamed , Gloria and with a welcomed cup of tea ! !
Lil, Lucy, Georgia and I rolled up sleeves to clear the warehouse floor with Hamed and Gloria , we moved chairs ,beds and sofas , flipping the room from clutter to open space in under an hour., Leaving it ready for even more donations... great work guys ! !

On Tuesday 9th September, seven Goodgymmers visited Carriers of Hope. Great to see Michelle and Namrine this month !

Nigel, Malal and I wrestled duvets into black bags, Lucy and Lil packed toilet rolls, while upstairs Laura, Malal and Georgia sorted baby bits. Carriers of Hope's Namrine told us they've kicked off Wheels of Welcome – fixing up donated bikes, then running rides for people to build confidence and connection and to chat ! . She told us a story too, about giving someone a bike when they really needed it – ask her yourself next time. And if you want to donate any bikes or find out more contact Namrine .
