We'll set off at a social pace along the West Ham Road, turning onto Manor Road and then into the industrial park where the Warehouse is located. There'll be a back marker so no one is left behind! There is a bag drop, toilets are available, and you’ll be brought back to the start afterwards.

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 visit on 18th August to help Chris sort and audit the bags from the various shops, we'll be making a return on the 29th September 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.
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.
