Making the community look amazing

Croydon Report written by Ingrid Buchanan
Ruro, Ros, Liz, Paul, Ian, Nikki and Ingrid braved a cold night for a community mission at Croydon Refugee Day Centre. We gathered at our usual meeting place and were delighted to see fellow GoodGymer Conroy and have a quick catch up.
After making our way to the centre, we were met by Simon who gave us our tasks for the evening. These included ensuring clothes were in the correct size order on the rails, were labelled and removing any summer clothing. The session ended with us moving all the rails into the storage room. This is more of a squeeze with each visit, we're not sure whether there are more rails or the room is getting smaller!
After saying our goodbyes to Simon, we made our way back to the meeting spot.

Regular GoodGym members Nikki, Ros and Ingrid welcomed Ruro, who joined them for her first session at the Croydon Refugee Day Centre.
Centre volunteer Simon welcomed us and gave us the tasks for the evening. These included sorting and bagging up summer clothing for next year. Rehanging clothing and our favourite final job of moving the hanging rails from the hall into a small storage room.
We completed all tasks successfully and Simon thanked us with a Kit-Kat. We look forward to visiting again in the new year.
