Four goodgymers met in Caversham to help raise awareness of Thames Hospice's Superstore in Richfield Avenue. We were joined by GoodGym superstar Louise for her 900th good deed! What an awesome achievement!

The shop has so many great things - furniture, children's toys, books and loads of lovely pre-loved clothes, and a cafe too!

We set off in pairs to deliver leaflets, managing to distribute 200 in just under 45 minutes, walking 2km and even spotted some cute cats along the way!

For the task next week, we'll be back in Caversham, and will be doing some weeding, watering and maybe some strawberry picking at Ardler Road allotments, supporting Food4families. See you there!

3 GoodGymers went out on a lovely evening, for a stroll down the River Kennet to litter pick.

We were pleasantly surprised by how little we found on the initial stretch of the river, but somehow we still managed to fill 3 bags between us!

Our next task will be on Monday 2nd June, when we'll be supporting the Thames Hospice Superstore. Sign up here

On a lovely sunny evening, four GoodGymers set out to clear up some of the litter from Reading's streets.

Armed with pickers and bags, we took a route which led us passed where we had been cheering for the half marathon a few weeks earlier and down by the canal.

Both Jessica and Ganesh got stuck in on their first Monday evening session, and Chris has now reached the mega milestone of 50 good deeds! 🎉

With 3 bags full of litter, helped along by someone neatly leaving theirs on the statue by the Abbey Ruins, we certainly earned our good deeds on this task, and left Reading a little less littery!

Watch this space for the next session!

We met Yin at Ardler Road allotments to help her out with some jobs on the Food4Families plot. They grow fruit and veg which is donated to local groups.

It was a lovely morning to be outside and getting stuck in! Jessica joined us for the first time, and she and Jenni took straight to pulling weeds out, to make sure that everything had space to grow.

Chris got to work on digging trenches to plant potatoes, and after weeding and planting potatoes, Jessica helped with getting everything watered too!

After an hour and a half, we had completed all the jobs needed for today. We'll be back again to help with more jobs throughout the growing season!

We had the pleasure of cheering on the Reading half marathon runners, powered by pom-poms, tambourines and cow bells supplied by Sport in Mind.

We started the morning by meeting at Reading train station and then making our way to Forbury gardens where the Sport in Mind gazebo was based.

It was a cloudy day but fueled with the energy of the other supporters and some very sugary drinks, we had a blast and cheered on every single runner! It was great to see some new Goodgymers joining us too. Ganesh, Joshna and Sandra brought great energy to the mix and it was a lovely event to witness.

We ended the day by helping to pack up the gazebo and items before heading back in the afternoon.

Thanks again to Jenni, Chris, Ganesh, Joshna and Sandra for attending and see you all at the next one!
