We had lots of fun this evening with a task a bit different to our normal busy Wednesday nights!

Following a request from HIVE for Christmas Cards for elderly people in care homes, we let our creative juices loose and made an impressive number in such a short space of time.

Christmas truly came early for Judy, who discovered pre-inked stamps for the first time! I'm not sure I've seen ever seen so much joy!

Well done everyone on a super job this evening.

Mixers, cookbooks, cutlery and all manner of kitchen-y bits were hauled out of cupboards and drawers!

A superb collection of items were donated by GG-ers for the pantry to supply those in need.

Well done gang, the team were super happy and they have many crates of stuff ready!

Portsmouth GoodGymers gathered up unwanted Christmas smellies & added extra toiletries to their supermarket shop, and then took their donations to the North End Pantry.

The Pantry volunteers were grateful that they could add bathroom essentials to the food bank donations.

Portsmouth Hive put out a request for Valentine-themed decorations for a Care Home, so we responded to the call.

There was some at-home crafting and a lunchtime MAKE session.

Plenty of love-themed crafting was the result.

As we took down the seasonal sparkle, we decided which decs needed a new home.

Christmas decorations will be donated to the Naomi House charity shop, as they have plenty of storage space to keep them safe until next December.

(Nb broken Xmas lights will go to electrical waste recycling.)
