WE ARE BACK!!!!!!
8 GoodGymers made their way to help the Dorset Children's Foundation in Bournemouth.
- Saturday, 27th of June 2020
- Led by Bournemouth runner
It's been so long since we were able to get together, and whilst there's nothing quite a group run and a task, community missions allow us to continue doing good AND see some of our fellow GoodGym Bournemouth family at the same time. WIN WIN.
Dorset Children's Foundation needed an extra pair of hands...well we gave them 8 pairs!
Caprice, Sean, Daryl, Sarah, Janet, Keith, Lea and Hannah met Patsy and we were waved into a mysterious door which led to the biggest Aladdin's cave you've ever seen! We went upstairs and through room after room of donations... it looked like a hoarder's paradise! There were some interesting finds in there that's for sure (abd Patsy told us about some VERY questionable donations too........) but great to see so much for the charity to sort through and sell.
We set to work unloading a small van which didn't take much time at all, so then we helped sorting through the stock and Sarah, Janet, Lea and Hannah got to work squashing some boxes which was actually quite satisfying!
Patsy was so pleased to have us helping, and we must have done well as she asked to have us back again next week! There is loads to be done there so would be great if we can give them regular support.
We've been doing SOOOOO MUCH GOOD during lockdown with all of our one off missions! Everything from prescription collections and shopping, to changing ligbtbulbs, moving furniture or having a chat with someone who needed it, but to be back together as a group again is the BEST THING EVER.
No matter whats going on in life, there is always the chance to do good! Spreading GoodGym Bournemouth smiles and positivity is what we do best, and man it feels sooooo good to be back!

Thank you Hannah for a lovely report!
Yes, it was like going back in time, everyday objects that sparked memories.
Great report! 👌I can't wait until the next mission!
