Five go pallet trucking...
6 GoodGymers made their way to help the Crisis at Christmas Warehouse in Tower Hamlets.
- Wednesday, 9th of June 2021

Another warm Wednesday evening at the massive echoey warehouse saw Fiona, Jem, Stephen, PvT and myself helping out Taidgh and Chris from Crisis by getting stuck into box ordering by sequence, everyone's favourite task of pallet wrapping, loading of monitor screens and keyboards in a delicate balancing act and then using the pallet trucks to shift everything around in some form of co-ordinated fashion to enable Taidgh to demonstrate his forklifting skills moving all of this remaining IT equipment to the loading bay.
In spite of the subterranean conditions in the warehouse, it proved to be warm work, but 19 pallets later our tasks were complete - Chris was most grateful as this time last year he'd had to do all that work on his own.
Still no definitive date for Crisis to exit the building, and definitely more work for Friday's group to get done...and yet again, it was still light and warm when we exited the building.
