Vac It Up, Pallet In, New Year's Begin

Monday 4th January 2021

Written by Char Binns

Our super 7 lifted and heaved their way to a tidier New Year at Liverpool Unitarian Church.

On a freezing (literally) evening, our team arrived at the church on foot and were led down to a large basement that was heaped full of random bits of bobs. As well as being home to the local Unitarian congregation, the church serves as a community centre, gig space and wedding venue, in its glorious listed building. With so much activity, the basement appears to have become a dumping ground for disgarded and broken objects.

Over an hour, climbing the stairs and handing smaller objects through a hatch, we managed to clear scores of dusty chairs, four vaccum cleaners, a roomful of wooden pallets, a wheelbarrow, a giant wooden shoe-print and a crate of out-of-date beer, amongst other bits and pieces.

It was fantastic to be joined by two lovely newbies Lee and Gill who fitted right in and really got stuck in.

All in all, we shifted at least a skip full of rubbish, hopefully leaving the church with more space for useful objects or more activity space.

Well done team, fantastic work tonight!

Chair We Go on a Uni-chair-ian Mission #GG10

Monday 16th September 2019

Written by Char Binns

Nineteen good eggs, celebrated 10 years of GoodGym with a proper run and a lifting and shifting task.

This week we are celebrating GoodGym's 10th birthday nationally and proudly waved out flag around the city. Our route to Liverpool Unitarian Church didn't take us past the biggest landmarks but we did still manage a few decent shots, we hope you'll agree.

The run to Unitarian Church was nice and straight forward and everyone did well to keep pace with few traffic light breaks. We were welcomed by Viki and soon put to work lifting chairs and boxes from the second floor room down to the bin or the basement. Once we'd lifted and shifted, clocking up those steps, 3 or 4 times each, the room had been transformed and can now be put to better use.

With a couple of minutes to spare, the Reverend treated us to a quick tour of the church and a chat about the admirable legacy of the Unitarian congregation in Liverpool (and beyond). What a stunning building!

A huge shout out to Eimear who joins the black t-shirt crew, clocking a massive 50 good deeds with this task - well deserved and well done!

Also a shout out to newbie Sharon who easily kept pace and got stuck in at the task - we'd love you to run with us again soon.

Never one to enjoy doubling back, I led the group on a slightly longer but more scenic route back via Princes Park with the sun setting in purple and red ahead of us. A gorgeous end to a gorgeous evening. Happy Birthday GoodGym, you beaut!

The celebrations continue with #GGSuperSaturday and our birthday social this weekend. Find out more and sign-up!

P.S. The title pun is a combination of chair-mendous efforts by Christina and Jo :)
