Chair-ing is caring
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Glass Door Homeless Charity in Hammersmith and Fulham.
- Tuesday, 28th of January 2020
- Led by Patrick Luong
On another freezing cold January morning, two GoodGym-ers arrived at St. Cuthbert's church bright and early to help out the volunteers there, a mission that has taken place every Tuesday morning for the last few weeks.
St Cuthbert's works with Glass Door, a wonderful charity which partners with 34 churches to provide a warm welcome, food, shelter and stability for up to 170 men and women each night during the winter season.
The church needed a hand returning the main hall back to its original layout. Despite the early hour we enthusiastically got on with unfolding the ten heavy tables, arranging the 100 or so chairs around them, and setting out the soft seating area.
Within 15 minutes the room was fully transformed and it looked great! The volunteers were very pleased with our help as it would have taken them a long time on their own.
