5 GoodGymmers headed over to the MIND Charity Warehouse, one of the regular charities in Leicester we support. Lovely to see Lindsay again and catch up.
Today we helped sort donation bags with items to supply the MIND charity shops or send to third world counties. We also tagged a big basket of clothes with their size that had already been sorted and checked for the shops. Only the top quality products get to be put on sale in the shops.
Whilst the ladies were busy the gentlemen were busy sorting the books, their favourite little corner. Stu found his next drinks bottle- a giant babies bottle!
Weldone all your help is very much appreciated by the team at Mind, look forward to seeing you next time.

3 GoodGymmers helped to raise awareness of Loughborough Area Foodbank with Trussel Trust. Holding the Fort of the food donations trolley, engaging with customers and giving out leaflets.
The New Life Community Church provide the foodbank service to help those in need.
The first 45 minutes the trolley for donations was empty, it was a sorry sight.
All of a sudden the customers who had taken a leaflet from us on their way in, were finishing their shopping with items to donate to the charity. We couldn't believe the generosity of Morrisons customers, I think it did help that Dawn knew half the people going in as she works at the store when she is not volunteering with GoodGym.
Shout out to Nick and Dawn both completing double tasks today after gardening in the sun this morning, standing in Morrisons foyer was very refreshing this afternoon. Weldone team.

5 fantastic GoodGymmers came help Braunstone Community Primary School create an allotment to grow fruits and vegetables. Back for the second week as there's so much hands on work to be done and the sun was shining.
Everyone got stuck in clearing out all the weeds and brambles, Nick and Stu had their hands full with the roots on one of the brambles, it looks more like a small tree!
Jimmy and Dawn cleared all around the pond, I had to warn Jimmy there was no swimming today.
Fantastic work team, your efforts are really appreciated and great to see you all, keeping fit whilst doing good.
