One of our recent regular tasks has been Penge Congregational Church, where we’ve been helping remove old junk so the church can offer space to the local creative community to work in. Joining us as new GoodGymers were Sunanda and Jasmine - thanks for coming along!

We met Jonny, our task contact, at the church and were shown the way to the crypt. Contrary to what you might expect, it was small and well-lit! It was also nice and cool compared to the heat of upstairs.

The crypt held many boxes of books donated for jumble sales but had never sold, and now very dusty! Our task was to move these up to the old hall ready to be removed from site.

Some excellent self-organising split us into teams of those bringing boxes of books upstairs from the crypt and those carrying them to the hall.

In just 30 minutes we moved over half the boxes in the crypt - fab work!

The space is already looking larger, and shows that many hands make idle work.
