What a lovely day we've had :)

This morning, we met at Leeds Community Sauna for their volunteer day. We moved wood, benches & pallets and Jubz dug out some ground next to the sauna.

The sauna is a community-oriented, affordable sauna space nestled amongst the trees and the river Aire. It will provide a space for peace, health, and connection. They have one sauna and are building a second. These will sit alongside cold plunges, showers, a space to relax before and after sauna sessions & a natural glade area. We can't wait to go along once it's open!

We then headed for some lunch at Mog cafe & then to Meanwood Valley Trail for a 6.5K walk. Jubz & Alina were determined to find the whale stones along the trail, which we eventually discovered & they provided good photo opportunities!

Welcome back to Alina & nice to meet Sammy too.

Thanks for a great day all.

On my 150th good deed, we met at Heart and Helen took the group on a 4.5K run through Beckett Park on the way to Shire Oaks primary school. We were there to finish off the painting for the sensory garden that we started in September. Jason arrived early to take apart an old bench (thank you) & then spent most of the session up a ladder! We managed to get the second coat of paint on the walls in good time and it looks loads better! Janie gave us flapjack & tea...we're not used to this kind of service. Thank you!

What a great night with the GoodGym Leeds gang!

In 30 degrees heat, we braved a short run up to the OWLS allotments. We've not been in a while so it needed some serious weeding but as there was 18 of us we got loads done and it looked so much better when we left! Adam wheeled Jubz around in a wheelbarrow full of insects, hopefully you've not been bitten Jubz!

We then headed back to Heart for a drink, chips and some lovely Indian cakes curtesy of Jubz's mum, thank you! :) The topics of conversation included erm cake & getting ticks in awkward places!

Great work team!

Last night was our summer social & so we ran up to Beckett Park to have some fun and games. We got into two teams 'Helen's Hillbillies' & 'Canada' to battle it out with some school sports day type activities! We competed in egg & spoon, 3 legged & sack races & then threw hoops, bean bags & it wouldn't be a summer social without a game of human hungry hippos!! Some highlights were Christian powering ahead in the sack race, Alice & Amy winning the 3 legged race (good team work girls) & Katie falling in the sack race (sorry Katie)! We finished off with a game of rounders and then the final results were in...it was a draw!!

After all the fun, we had a picnic to finish off with a lovely selection of savoury & sweet treats. Thanks all, what a great evening!

Welcome to newcomers Amy & Tracey & congratulations to Katie who has reached 100 good deeds! You're awesome :)
