You may say that I’m a steamer, but I’m not the only one.

8 wonderful GoodGymmers hit the streets of Bromley this evening to help out the St Christopher’s Hospice and one of their (very high quality) charity shops on Crystal Palace Triangle.
We met at the Bridge House as per, discussed our favourite hills (Harry and Blue Peter’s Katy did not make an appearance 🥲), welcomed brand-new-to-GG-Bromley Emma ✨ and then did a quick warm up before making the long ascent up Crystal Palace Park Road.
Everyone smashed it (hopefully with the help of Slightly Smaller Steps, Knees (up), Arms (swingin’) and a Balloon keeping them upright - SSSKAB for short). We managed to squeeze in a few squats at some traffic lights and then we met Hannah on our way too!
Teresa greeted us and had a few jobs for us:
💨 Emma jumped straight into steaming clothes. Hannah tag teamed in a little later.
🧹Alex was whizzing round the shop hoovering every nook and cranny.
👗 Clare Rosie and Cat started out picking out and swapping the fanciest clothes in the prime spots around the shop before joining…
👘 Nick and I, who were putting clothes on hangers.
And if all that wasn’t enough, we also managed a bit of tagging and some price reductions! 🤑
St Christopher’s relies heavily on the money it generates from its charity shops so it was great to be able to help out with a nice variety of jobs and to support the hospice in its work with the community.
ACE WORK EVERYONE.
We’ll be back next Monday with a brand new task - Betts Park!
