Lifting the spirits
13 GoodGymers made their way to help the Crisis at Christmas Warehouse in Tower Hamlets.
- Sunday, 7th of March 2021
- Led by Laura Williams
A committed group of GoodGymers gathered at the huge Crisis warehouse today to help with the final stages of emptying the building.
How so?
We were lucky enough to be involved from the off in helping set up this huge Christmas warehouse operation, but we didn't expect to be invited back in March! Quelle surprise.
Anyway, it turns out many pairs of active hands make for light work, and so the runners busied themselves lifting bags, and bags, and tables, and wheeling pallets and trolleys and generally getting quite the workout.
Richard, the project co-ordinator here at Crisis joined the team on the warehouse floor throughout, assigning members to new activity every time any one looked at a loose end.
Good times
It was spacious, it was safe, it was sociable, and it was really quite an enjoyable way to spend the first Sunday in March.
Hopefully we'll be back for another final visit before the team move on.
Well done and thanks to everyone involved today, and a huge warm welcome to Clelia whose first GoodGym event this was. It was lovely to see you, and thanks for all you achieved.
