Pete, Ashley, Peter, Rachel and first timer to GoodGym Derby Becky helped organise the YMCA Derbyshire Sleep Easy on the night of the fundraising event.

The group helped get everyone parked up safely, signposted attendees where they needed to register on the night and helped attendees to select the most insulating looking pieces of cardboard for their shelters. They managed to have a chat about GoodGym Derby when attendees were coming to get hot drinks or their cardboard and help was much appreciated by the YMCA Derbyshire team headed up by Catherine.

The fundraising target is £30,000 for 2022 and the event has raised just under £18,000 by the afternoon post-event.

Great to have a catchup with some of the members and see Peter and Becky for the first time with GoodGym Derby, hopefully they'll be at some future events (Becky is a passionate litter picker :))

Answers on a postcard if you know any of the volunteers that helped out and can see them on the group photo.

Thanks to everyone who came along to help out.
