A strong team of 4 turned up tonight to bring back this lovely session at Croydon Refugee Day Centre 💪

It was a pleasure meeting Julia, Lorna and Ian at my first session as TaskForce — and a special welcome to our newbie, Julia ❤️

Simon, the task owner, is a dream! He took the time to give us a proper introduction and set us up to make this a regular session. Our tidying efforts were even rewarded with KitKats — always appreciated 🍫

As promised, the next session is on Tuesday 10th March.

Hope to see you there! You can sign up here: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/sorting-clothes-at-croydon-refugee-day-centre-747d77c4-378e-487a-a067-113db67d3479

On a drizzly Tuesday night GoodGym Croydon made another visit to Croydon Refugee Centre. A warm welcome was given to Brenda, Neelam, Atare, Dora and Michael who were volunteering at the Centre for the first time. They were joined by regular Croydon GoodGymers Liz, Roz, Nikki, Ingrid, Magda, Ian, Hannah, Lorna and Paul.

We met with Simon from the Centre who was impressed with the number of volunteers and put us to work getting the clothing donations sorted and on the rails. We finished by moving the rails from the hall into a (very) small storage room. After a bit of jiggling all the rails fitted and we said our goodbyes to Simon.

The evening ended with a drink at a local pub on the way home.
