Thames Hospice is running a fund-raising campaign in the summer called 'Trunks Across the Thames' and they put out a call for people to make elephant-themed items which can be sold in pop-up shops. Not a typical GoodGym task, but 8 GoodGymers took on the challenge to release their creative side. And boy, did they surpass all expectations! Give them a wide brief, and it's amazing what people came up with! Jess was first out of of the blocks with some beautifully cross-stitched cards, and Hannah crafted some fantastic resin keyrings. Angela had a crafting evening making some fun felt elephants and even found some elephant bunting. Viv re-purposed some old football-themed pillowcases to make our largest contributions. Sheila tackled a variety of techniques, producing knitted and sewn soft toys, badges, and some zippered pouches made from elephant fabric scavenged from a Googym task for the Green Skills Library. Georgeta produced some beautifully mounted photographic prints of elephants she had made friends with in Indonesia. Carys brought out her artistic side with drawings of elephants and Amy made some cute origami elephants from which she made some beautifully crafted and original cards. I was so impressed with the time, enthusiasm and creativity which everyone put into the task. Jess from Thames Hospice says a huge big THANK YOU!

Thank you for all your help at Thames Hospice today.

our wonderful volunteers found some lovely frocks for the ball before it strikes 10.

Pumkpin never showed up until pass midnight. Unfortunately they never made it to the ball only to Costa!!!!

we managed to sort out all winter donations with a little help cinderella. Her Glass heals turned to brown boots? Not sure what happened?

A very warm welcome to Bejay on his first ever Goodgym task. We hope you enjoyed the session.

Our task as usual was to help May sort through the donated clothes into season trends and colours.

In the short space of 1 hour we managed to get through 20 plus bags!

3 volunteers helped at our regular hospice, the season has changed to winter with quick transformation like super women. Pam had her HAT tricks sharing her SPEEDY ways. Manjit our magician magically BOOMERANG us. Sut was like madusa without the STONE effect.

We sorted over 15 bags of donations!

Three good gymers sorted Summer clothing donations into colours and trends ready to hit the shop floor and make money for a very worthy charity. A very warm welcome to Yusuke who joined us for his first Goodgym task today.

Lovely day sorting out colours with May and the team. We sorted around 12 black bags and ended up with over 16 bags of colours.

Helen had the lucky dip today.

Thank you for your help!
