It was a rainy start to half term but that didn't stop 7 intrepid GoodGym runners from gathering at the Charles Dickens Activity Centre to lend a hand with the EnableAbility Half Term Activities.

Tony headed up the popular running group option, ably assisted by Alex, Charlotte & Lucy. They were joined by 15 staff and young people and they headed out to do the clockwise loop of the centre and finished up at Buckingham Green. Judy and Jen came along with me and the smaller walking group (aka team dab) and we cleared the south side of Lake Road. Between us all we managed to fill 5 bin bags of rubbish in less than 45 minutes. We found socks, a hat, a picnic bag and an old building sign amongst the usual drinks cans, cigarette butts and crisps packets. We also learnt the dab and were very impressed with Lucy's ability to floss!

We then headed back in to the dry of the sports hall for a throw about and runabout. We found out what everyone's favourite sandwich was and then finished up with 2 games of very competitive noughts and crosses.

Great morning, great work from the team as always!
