Rekha collected a mountain of boxes from Clean Conscience in Holyport, a charity supporting the Sierra Leone women’s development project. They needed help decanting hundreds of mini tubes of hand and body wash into 2 20 litre containers.

Rekha managed a third of a container at home before dropping them to the rest of the group (Sophie, Elliott, Jess, Ruth and Hannah) who came equipped with lots of layers and an electric outdoor heater.

This was also Hannah’s first GoodGym good deed- whooop! Go Hannah!

We prayed for dry weather and set to work. Wine, Prosecco, beer, music, nibbles and pizza kept us going for the 3 hours it took to fill both the bottles.

Thankfully we only had one light rain shower which was surprising after a crazy day of downpours followed by sunshine!

Everyone’s thumbs were aching by the end with lots of slippery moments where the tubes would spring out our hands or fall into the funnels when we tried to squeeze out every last drop!

It was a super fun task with lots of great chat, and a beautiful fruity aroma all the way through! The containers will be dropped back to the charity tomorrow ready for them to be shipped to Sierra Leone on Thursday.
