A warm welcome to Luke, who managed to find us on his first Goodgym mission. That was quite a feat in itself as we had trouble finding the Windmill Hub last time… Anyway, six Goodgymmers, Sophie, Emma, Daryl, Luke, Keith and Lea, turned up at the right place… but no Patsy. Luckily it didn’t take too long for her to turn up. Three tasks, so we were split up. Keith and Daryl got the varnishing going and with two coats of it all finished. Emma was really happy when Patsy announced a sorting task in the crafts cupboard, with Luke volunteering to help her. Sophie and Lea were sent across to the Treehouse, the charity shop, where Chloe was incredibly pleased to see us. Up a really spooky staircase to a room full of BAGS! Lots of bags emptied and sorted into other bags. Lots of “oh my, look at this, this is so cute”. Lea would have dressed her grandson ten times over with Sophie contemplating dressing future offspring in cuter than cute clothes. Back at the Windmill hub, with Luke putting his hoovering skills to good use, we got together for a quick group photograph. After a productive morning we left a very happy Patsy and Chloe who are already thinking of more tasks we can do! Yay!!! Thanks everyone for your help. Oh BTW no before/after pictures, but we did a lot even without those to show for it!

Seven Goodgymmers, Millie, Emma, Sophie, Mohammed, Roger, Keith and Lea, got together to help Patsy and Scott of the Dorset Children’s Foundation. Well… got together was not actually the word: we were split up, three at Pokesdown and four at the new premises in the Sovereign Centre. At Pokesdown Roger and Lea loaded a van with office furniture, crates of stuff and bags, while Keith did his favourite thing, unscrewing a huge desk. Once loaded, we went to the other site, but that sounded easier than it was. WHERE, oh where, did we have to be? Luckily we found out where to go and, more importantly, where everyone was. Then the unloading started. That was actually such a quick job that Lea got Patsy to give us some other jobs. She was mighty pleased when the girls helped with painting the bathroom, with Mohammed looking like a professional sanding down a cupboard. Roger and Lea also joined in the painting. With five of us there it was done in no time. And Keith?! He had the important task of trying out this wonderful hanging seat. Patsy was happily surprised at how we got on with things and is already thinking of other tasks we can do. Thanks everyone for your help!!
