8 Goodgymers in the super hot weather making there way to clothing Coventry tonight. With [Jill Ashley], Meera, Georgia, Steve and Laura taking a steady run over from together from Coventry boys and Girls club, Sharon taking a walk and Nigel and James meeting us there.
We arrived and were presented with an array of school shoes to sort. We jumped right in organising them by size and gender with a flurry of crates. With some of us labeling crates, others opening packages full of shoes and the rest loading up the crates, we worked seamlessly as a team and did a shoeper job!
With ten minutes to spare we paired up and did a speed session of 'wants', 'needs' and what the 'hells', a bit like snog marry, avoid as Nigel pointed out. We had a chuckle watching the guys pulling out the womens clothing and try to figure out what on earth they were looking at.
With the session ending Jo explained lots of extra help that they need so need to go away and see if there is any way we can help them out.
