Monday is an important day to set the tone for the week ahead, right? It's pretty good with a 360° view of the city and the community!
Today some hard working and essential organisations and charities went to recruit volunteers and network with each other.
It was a great chance to make new connections and reconnect with old acquaintances.
Friends and partner organisations from Emmaus Colchester, Firstsite, St Helena Hospice, En-Form and Community 360 were present as well as Citizen Advice, Headgate theatre, Alzheimer's Society, Manningtree Foodbank(in disguise) and The Essex Family Support Service.
I wonder if you agree that volunteering is essential and adds a lot more depth to a CV. It is social and fun and at Goodgym we hope it becomes part of your routine and not a chore. Helping others is great for your mental health and all the dedicated people today shared the aspiration to be inclusive, eco-friendly, respectful and represent Colchester at its best.
