Our regular visits helping with the post distribution clean-up are making a difference week by week. Today was a perfectly warm evening, ideal for getting an extra pair of hands along (thank you Steve!) after work to help. Peter and Rhian were also there following the distribution to help with sorting the crates outside, giving the fridges a proper clean, and cleaning/tidying boxes. Once hoovered we made sure everything was back in it's place ready for the next distribution.
There was just time for Steve to firm up details for helping at a distribution session later this month - and we are back for the group session on Wednesday 25th June to deep clean the storage area and help remove a partition wall, so sign up and get involved if you can: Https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/help-with-deep-cleaning-at-merton-s-community-fridge

Tonight, Jade and Peter were on hand to support with the clean-up post distribution and pre Easter. With the eggs-tra pair of hands there was time to attack the often-neglected nooks and crannies behind the storage boxes. Armed with a vacuum and determination, a proper behind-the-scenes refresh was completed after a hands-on sort-through of cartons, egg boxes, and miscellaneous bits and bobs.

The Goodgym Merton team were back in action at Parkrun Morden this morning. Handling setup with ease, cheering on runners as marshals at key points on the undulating course, and then dove straight into the post-run token sorting. Even squeezing in a 5k, promotion with the local Councillors and a coffee. What a great day to start the day!

Spent the day helping out Merton's Community Fridge team - armed with gloves, a vacuum, and enough sanitiser to make any germ think twice. From vacuuming floors to tackling the bins and giving boxes a squeaky-clean glow-up, every little bit helps. Big respect to the team doing this day in and day out - heroes in high-vis!
