Many hands make the lights work...
12 GoodGymers made their way to help the SeeAbility in Kingston upon Thames.

A strong team of 12 gathered at SeeAbility learning disability home in Ditton Road to bring some Christmas cheer to its 5 residents. This wasn't GoodyGym's first rodeo with number of members having been part of this mission in previous years. Martel was ready with tones of indoor and outdoor decorations and a task lists. The boys took on the hanging of the outside lights at the front and back of the house, balancing on ladders (being kindly held safe by Laura), to wrap the roof in icicle lights. The rest of us divided up sticking on window decorations (after windows have been thoroughly washed) with Santas, reindeer, Xmas trees all topped with good old- fashioned snow in the can.
Of course you can't have Christmas without a tree which came in zillion color coded pieces but we were not to be defeated and at the end were rewarded by a festive looking red, white & silver tree in the corner of beautifully decorated conservatory for all to enjoy.
Making sure that we do make the most of our time together as such a good size group, we popped into the local pub to get fed, watered but most importantly warmed up, it was a cold one.
