Racking up a good deed to save the world!
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Save The World Club - Circulatory in Kingston upon Thames.
- Tuesday, 11th of August 2020
- Led by Mark Barun
Ok maybe a bit of an overstatement, but true fact is this new organisation to GoodGym Is officially called The Save the World Club. So of course GoodGym wanted to learn more...
Run by Des, the organisation literally collects what the community no longer want or what charity shops can’t sell, repurposes it and finds new uses. When we were there a shipment was being prepared for Uganda - of old bedding, toys and a bit like the warehouse we were in, a bit of every everything under the sun!
There are also some ace artists next door and a cycling workshop venture led by Gary.
Our task...We made an electric avenue by emptying the shelves of old electronic items to move the shelving racks along the wall. As we moved boxes of tv remote controls we found a new meaning to working remotely. Des felt a shelf confidence boost as we complimented his self building skills and great pun work! That mallet made for some whacking good shelf building.
As the racking and boards came together GoodGym found a new meaning of a board meeting.
It was an Episode of Master Shelf.
A big welcome to Jassy who was on her first GoodGym mission. We hope you enjoyed this electric task and will join us again soon at the next challenge.
And a big thank you to Des for hosting us. Would be great to do more for STW!
