Our group run this week took us to Refugee Action Kingston and we were tasked with jobs at two different locations. Claire, Dave, Emma and Farzeen all ran and walked to one of the offices were they were asked to take apart a desk so that it could be transported to the other location. They were a very efficient team and they got to work making sure all the screws were accounted for so there would be no issue with reassembly. A staff member then drove the desk in her car to the second location while the runners transported themselves to help unload.

The second location was where all the other GoodGymers were hanging out and organising the rest of the shelving units. The women's clothing area and toiletries was tidied up by Tom, Anna and Marcos, Amy got stuck in to the bunting making sure there were no knots and neatly folding it ready to put away, and Raquel and Luke sorted the menswear. As soon as the desk arrived it went up in the lift and was reassembled well within the hour we had there.

A great session with lots of big and small jobs completed. Heidi from Refugee Action Kingston was so grateful that these jobs were completed as it then frees them up to concentrate on other important tasks within the organisation. So well done team! Thank you for all your help.

Tonight's task was to help one of Kingston's amazing local charities, RAK (Refugee Action Kingston) . RAK help out refugees in the area to integrate, live fulfilling, independent lives and become recognised and active participants in their local communities. Part of this involves the provision of clothing and other essential items. Our task tonight was to sort through a load of these donations and help organise their storage system.

As with any catch-all store, there are a few departments at RAK: Mens, Womens, Kids and Toiletries. All of these areas needed reorganising and tidying up. A recent fire inspection suggesting that all cardboard should be disposed of where possible so any items in boxes needed repacking. There were also a whole load of unsorted donations that needed to be split into department or discarded, if the quality was below-par. We separated into groups and did what GoodGym does best - use many hands to make light work. Always amazing how much can be done in a short period of time!

Welcome to Kitty and John on your first tasks! Excellent to meet you and hope to see you next time :)

The glorious sunshine has unfortunately been causing issues for Refugee Action Kingston as the sun streams into the office and is too bright. Dave and Rachel went over and put up a blind so they can now get some shade and sit comfortably at the desk.

Dave and Rachel got their goodgym t-shirts on and went to help Refugee Action Kingston by putting up a blind in their office but when they got there there was no-one there!

We left a message on their answerphone to get in touch to rearrange and went back home with the drill.

I attended an event held by Refugee Action Kingston to promote the benefits of GoodGym for health and wellbeing. A few people seemed very interested and I hope to see them at a GoodGym session soon.

Today we went back to Refugee Action Kingston to finish what we started On Tuesday evening painting the office and reception area.

When we arrived the painting had been in full flow since Tuesday and the walls were starting to loose their yellow tinge.

Rachel, Marie-Noelle and Claire all gave some of the walls a second coat of paint and Rachel then moved on to cleaning the nasty sticky sellotape marks off the windows. Meanwhile Marie-Noelle and Claire cleaned the door frame and radiator so they were all shiny and sparkling.

It was then time for a quick hoover and tidy up so the office could be put back together for Monday morning. It now looks much brighter space to welcome visitors and work in.

We were then treated to sushi as an early lunch which was enjoyed by all.

I hope the team enjoy their new look offices on Monday morning.
