Our 13 strong team descended upon Critical Support Mitcham to help manager Puja with the running of this great support charity.

We soon split into small groups to maximise our effectiveness. A team of 5 headed upstairs to sort clothing donations and wrap Christmas toys and games kindly donated by local businesses.

Meanwhile on the ground floor, cardboard boxes were being flattened, a large consignment of bread was sorted and repacked ready for distribution, fire extinguishers replaced and stairs dusted and cleaned.

Back in the kitchen and perishable food store, the rest of the team rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in quality checking fruit, veg and yogurt. A messy job but someone has to do it!

Finishing off with a well deserved cup of tea, we left the unit in great shape, ready to start a new day.

Five eager Goodgymers (including a very welcome extra pair of hands!) dropped by Critical Support to sort deliveries ahead of the weekend!

We kicked off downstairs with two of the team lending a hand with incoming deliveries before joining the rest of the crew upstairs to tackle the main event: a Multibank pile packed with random, non-perishable items.

First up was crate-ing order out of chaos - deciphering what was already boxed up, relabelling, and re-organising everything to maximise the shelf limited space.

Sorting through these deliveries is always a fun adventure because you never know what you’ll find in the mix, an unexpected dressing-up section was definitely today's top-tier highlight!

The team worked together very well to clear the decks in just over an hour. Trading a standard workout for that box-ticking, satisfying feeling of a completely transformed room made for a fantastic session. Well-stacked effort, team!

We always enjoy being back at Critical Support in Mitcham, and tonight James had plenty of donations for us to sort, ready to be distributed to local charities. These included Easter eggs, clothing, loaves of bread, fruit, veg and lots more. Our eight Goodgymers hopped to it and whizzed through the jobs in an impressively fast time. We hope to be back soon!

Tonight's group session at Critical Support saw us tackling a massive influx of deliveries. The team dived straight into crating up fresh fruit and veg, managing mountains of bread, and decanting some very interesting recipe boxes for distribution. Beyond the food prep there was heaps of cardboard for flattening ready for recycling.

We worked at pace until the hour was up, successfully completing nearly every job on the list. A fantastic display of teamwork and efficiency - well done team!

Seven of us made our way to an industrial estate in Mitcham on a dark and drizzly night. As ever, it was well worth it to help out the brilliant charity Critical Support. This time some of the team were sorting crates of bread, fruit and other food, while others carried out an amazing transformation to the upstairs room, categorising clothes donations, tidying and even hoovering. James was as appreciative as always and amazed by what we'd achieved in such a short time. We look forward to returning.

We celebrated a record-breaking turnout tonight with 16 GoodGymers helping at Critical Support for our last group session of the year.

With so many hands on deck, our efficiency actually outpaced our supplies. Not to be deterred, as the paper was getting low the team pivoted to wrapping smaller gifts to maximise the output, then using decorative tape to get creative and finish the job. The final result was a fantastic pile of presents ready to go.

Great work everyone, and welcome to Safiya, Kriziya , Roisin, and Lili - Congrats on completing your first task, we hope to see you again soon.
