Leeds Report written by Leeds runner
On Sunday, four GoodGymers made their way to the newly reopened Surplus To Purpose warehouse. A combination of viral social media posts highlighting what the business/charity does as well as a buy one get one free offer resulted in huge queues of customers entering the warehouse. Sadly the warehouse was closed on Saturday due a security issue so Sunday was the first day people could attend that weekend.
The GoodGymers responsibility that day was quality controlling thousands pieces of fruit and veg and keeping the shop floor well stocked. It was hard work getting around but the gang was on it. Alice and Christian returned for their second visit whilst this was Alina's first visit. Alina focused most of her time on QC-ing fruit and veg, Christian did cardboard baling, frozen food stocking, Alice mainly spent her time admiring the stacks of mushrooms - didn't really do much else (she did push the cardboard baling button, stock the drinks fridge as well as all the above). I spent my time doing some cardboard baling, QC-ing, manning the new till, and keeping the shop floor looking tidy.
The gang all had full baskets paid for by using their volunteering credits - big shout to Christian who cycled home with a 6KG box of washing powder.

Tonight we had a great evening, coming together at Heart & running down to Left Bank where we painted some event stands & the remaining picnic bench. We love visiting Left Bank as it has such a great vibe, with all sorts of activities going on from break dancing, to art, to GoodGyming! We always get the offer of free drinks at the end, which are gratefully received :) Newcomer Lloyd even decided to paint his Man City jacket!! I'm pretty sure that chief mischief maker (& Man united supporter) Jubz had something to do with encouraging this vandalism. In his words... 'when beautiful souls come together, art occurs...'. I think that sums up our night perfectly!
Congratulations to Katie Presley on her 75th mission tonight! Thanks for all you do for GoodGym Leeds.

Tonight we had a very welcome visitor to Heart, Matthew from BW Legal who presented us with a giant cheque for £772.40!!!! BW Legal raised money throughout October for GoodGym & we were so happy that the team got to meet Matthew & to have a picture with the giant cheque :) We really appreciate BW Legal's support of GoodGym, as funds like this will allow us to continue our good work in Leeds. After the excitement of getting the cheque, we then got to work cleaning the nursery space for Heart. Many hands made light work & we were done in about 35 minutes so we then headed out for 3.23K run (to be very precise)!! Jason led the way tonight & kept good pace for the group, thank you! Well done to Kat for completing her 65th good deed & to Jason for his 15th tonight.
