It was great to see some new faces at GoodGym Wandsworth last night - so a huge welcome to Emily, Adam and Fadia!
There was a definite chill in the air last night so we got straight on with a warm up for both body and brain. First we got our muscles working with a series of high knees, heel flicks and those tricky reverse lunges before all naming a tube station that starts with the same letter as our first names. That was definitely more challenging for some of us (sorry Jordan!).
Our job for the evening was at food charity Waste Not Want Not who have big plans to refurb their headquarters to include greater services for local users, including a dining area and shower.
Unfortunately we had a bit of a wait to get access, and it was just as we decided to kill time with some wall sits that Hadas turned up to let us in - just in the nick of time!
There was plenty to do once we got inside, so we quickly got cracking shifting donations, sorting through piles of tin cans and packing up food. With such a flurry of activity the time flew by until we realised we had to go and there was no time for fitness - next time we'll do double! Great work tonight everyone, it makes a big difference at a small charity that people really rely on.
Next week we are back at Doddington garden to help with various jobs followed by our monthly pub quiz social, hope to see you there!
