This week it is the forth in the run for the GoodGym January Challenge! From the 1st to the 31st of January, across the country, we are going to walk, run and cycle to complete as many good deeds as we can.

Yesterday was a really a good fun session for GoodGym Brighton! This is always guaranteed when our friend Garry, the founder of Brighton Community Workshop, opens the Tools Library’s doors to us! The dreadful weather decimated the number of participants at the last minute, but it did not compromise the fun factor of what means for GoodGym to be volunteering at the Tool Library, in the heart of Kemptown in Brighton.

Five hard-core GoodGyme-rs took over the session’s game, and we managed to show off our best DIY capabilities while dismantling and re-mounting some cabinets, which will hold more tidily the DIY tools that Brighton Community Workshop’s members can borrow and/or buy for life. This is one of the circular economy projects across Brighton & Hove City that I (personally) like the most!

I had a demanding day yesterday, on multiple facets. Yesterday's GoodGym session and the power of women recharged my batteries and revamped my joyful spirit, as I often have or I hope to always keep for my GoodGym-ers ;-) GoodGym not only empowers me to feel part of a community, but always gives me the motivation to keep calm, and to carry on pursuing my charitable missions!

As an area activator and run leader of yesterday session, my only regret is that I didn't manage to convince Garry to join our fitness balance and stretching exercises at the end. LoL! 😊

Are you a member or want to join Brighton Community Workshop membership?

You are invited to their next week’s Annual General Meeting, on Tuesday 30th January at 19:30 with guest speaker, Cat Fletcher, founder of Freegle 😊 I believe it will be a fun and informative evening, and I will go there after our next week GoodGym group session at the Brighton Community Tennis Club.
