Ever been trapped in a lift? Ever been trapped in a shop? Ever been left in a warehouse and wondered where everyone had gone? ALL THREE escape room nightmares featured in tonight's task - what fun!

I'm pretty sure it was exactly what Ashley and Seb were expecting from their first (and hopefully not last) GoodGym experience. And they found lovely headgear for the final photo.

Emmaus' shops have been short-staffed die to companions being poorly so we stepped in to do the heavy lifting to swap around sofas and chairs that had sold, not sold or were newer stock for the shop's ground and first floor retail areas from (and to) the warehouse's mezzanine and basement floors. With one very slow lift that had a mind of its own at times!

Lots of energy expended for a great cause, the runners set off for Queen Square to stretch off and pop to workout for a drink on the terrace.


This task supported
Emmaus Bristol
We believe that people who are homeless and socially excluded have something to offer. We encourage people to use their skills to change themselves – and change the world.

We know that overcoming homelessness often means more than a roof over your head. That’s why we support people to work their way out of homelessness, providing meaningful work as well as a stable home for as long as someone needs it.
