Boxing clever!

Wednesday 1st November 2023

Written by Judy Knapp

Portsmouth GoodGymers love a donation task! Particularly one that enables them to have a clear out at home! And this task meant that the Portsmouth Helps Ukraine volunteers will have plenty of boxes to fill with gifts for the next lorry delivery to Ukraine.

A huge number of empty shoeboxes were discovered in GGers' cupboards, wardrobes and under beds.

GGers delivered their boxes to collection points and Judy delivered 2 car-loads to the very pleased staff at Southsea Library collection point.

Woolly leftovers

Wednesday 30th August 2023

Written by Judy Knapp

Well done, Jane, Dave & Tracey for donating generous amounts of leftover wool for the busy knitters and crotcheters who support the Portsmouth Helps Ukraine charity.

They don't have enough wool to keep up with the speedy needles and hooks, making blankets and warm clothing to send to Ukraine communities ready for this autumn and winter.

Our GoodGym donations will help to keep the clever crafters busy!

Crafty GoodGymers

Tuesday 31st January 2023

Written by Judy Knapp

The knitting needles and crotchet hooks were out - Portsmouth GoodGymers took tuition and re-learned forgotten skills, or rattled off squares with ease (in front of the tv, on the train, while working...)

The result was a beautifully colourful range of squares, ready to be sewn into a warm blanket, to be sent with a convoy of supplies to Ukraine next month.
