About this session
During the dark days of Covid, we did a lot of work to support the Crisis team by helping them build their facility to support their Christmas campaign, and then once the turkey had been eaten and the gifts given, we helped them pack it all away again - and then we helped them move into their new warehouse...GoodGym and Crisis go back quite a long way.

Following our most recent visit on 27th October to help Chris prepare the Christmas stock to go out to their stores on the High Streets of London, which inevitably involved a lot of moving of bags and cages, we'll be making a return on the 24th November to help out with more shifting, lifting, dismantling, auditing, packing, trolleying, van emptying and anything else that he'll undoubtedly have on his long to-do list for us, including prepping for Christmas...
This will help him make his operation of receiving and distributing clothing donations to the Crisis retail shops around London, more efficient.
The task will be inside in their warehouse located on Bidder St (near Cody Dock), just down from Star Lane DLR, between West Ham and Canning Town - refreshment also provided!
We'll meet at Freaks and Geeks at 1830 for a run to the facility, or alternatively you can meet us there at 7pm where Chris, our host, is looking forward to our assistance.
