Share the love

All of you

It been a heck of a year. We had a great start to 2020 with our epic Get Berkshire Active Award back in February (that was probably our last big night out for most of us!)

Despite everything that 2020 has thrown at us, we still managed an awesome 1108 Good Deeds (to put this into perspective in 2019 our total was 836!).

A huge thank you and well done to everyone in this ‘party’ as its been your ongoing contributions that has helped us achieve this. So here is the breakdown of our awesomeness:-

  • Group Runs – 11
  • Wellbeing calls – 205
  • Community Missions – 153
  • Coach calls – 49
  • Missions to older and vulnerable residents – 50
  • Quizzes – 6
  • Fitness training sessions – 17

Follow the leader

Everyone wants to be on the leaderboard right (except when it involves the C word! - which will not be mentioned in this report)

So, here are our top 5 Mission Team:

  • Sara with 21
  • Sut with 15
  • Chris with 9
  • Pam with 6
  • Jen with 2

Our highest Good Deeders Team:

  • Manjit with 189
  • Sut with 134
  • Emily with 104
  • Sara with 103
  • Jenny with 80

Finally Going the distance amongst us were:

  • Chris with 1627km
  • Ricky with 1469km
  • Manjit with 1267km
  • Joseph with 883 km and
  • Pam with 798 km

Reward with Awards

I can't buy you all a drink (maybe in 2021!), however I would like to say thank you in my own way to everyone who has attended a few sessions in 2020 (apologies to those not included – just means we need you back in 2021!)
