This evening marked our final GoodGym task of the year, and it felt especially fitting to spend it giving something back to the Quaker Centre, who have so generously allowed us to use their building as a meeting point and storage facility throughout the year.

The team split into groups and got stuck in straight away. Luke and Saber bravely tackled the bin storage area, which was home to an impressive number of cobwebs. Armed with brushes, they made a huge dent and left the area looking far more welcoming.

Inside, Emily took on the kitchen, clearing out old food and giving the space a much-needed clean and refresh. Meanwhile, Jana and Claire hoovered the storage room and removed plenty more cobwebs, with Claire also sorting out the GoodGym locker so everything is tidy and organised going forward.

Outside, Levita and Louisa added a festive touch by decorating the tree with ribbons and baubles. Once lit up, it looked absolutely wonderful and brought a real sense of Christmas cheer to the space.

We finished the evening by wishing each other a very happy Christmas, rounding off a brilliant year of tasks and teamwork, and looking ahead with excitement to the January Challenge.

Quakers share a way of life rather than a set of beliefs

KQC is a Quaker Meeting House and a much-loved and well used Community Centre in the heart of Kingston. Quakers try to live simply and sustainably, promoting peace, equality and truth. Putting faith into action is central to our way of life and we meet weekly for quiet worship, usually on Sunday, in more than 475 locations across Britain. Quakers have worshipped in Kingston for more than 350 years.
