GoodGym Ealing never know what to expect on their regular trips to Care4Calais, from school uniform picking to wheelchair cleaning to stock shortages. There's always something different. Today, some deliveries hadn't arrived, so the team, directed by task owner Tamzin, did what they could to keep the shelves stocked and fulfil the requests of those in need.

First up, boxes of clothes needed to be shuffled around to make space, with some heading for storage to be replaced by others that were needed now. Once complete, two different tasks led to Kash and Freya heading into the stock room while Steph and Sevan worked next door.

Some items were running low due to the non-deliveries, so Freya and Kash worked to prepare bags of requests that could be completed. There were more people asking for winter coats as the weather turned and there were requests for abayas and hijabs too. By the end of the session, Freya had mastered Tamzin's the storage system... which may have changed by the next time we visit in 6 days.

In the other room, Steph and Sevan were busy sorting new donations, with bags and bags waiting for their attention. There were some much needed winter jackets, a big batch of school clothes and a selection of hats (some of them useful for clients, some of them not). There were women's clothes too, many with unusual sizing. Some labels would claim they were small and then looked enormous on Steph and Sevan.

The team powered though a good set of tasks, leaving Tamzin's To Do list a bit lighter. No doubt it'll fill up again before we return next weekend.
