A massive well done to Matt who did his 40th task last night in Nottingham. It was a bit of a last-minute call-up as we only found out about this session a few hours before, but eager to get his hands dirty once again, Matt headed into Nottingham city centre to join the Kindness Angels in handing out bags of food and supplies to people in need.

More information can be found on this Facebook post.

The Kindness Angels group has been set up with the aim of scattering kindness to those on our streets in Nottingham. They are doing a fantastic job and even featured on BBC Nottingham this week. We hope to team up with them for more events in future.

You know you've got a good bunch of GoodGymers when eight of them turn up on a windy, close-to-freezing evening in February to paint railings.

After a little bit of stalling having a look round the glorious entrance area at The Atrium, we grabbed the paint and brushes and headed outside.

We decided to split into two teams of four starting at opposite ends of the first section of gates, each with two on the outside and two on the inside in an effort to make things as efficient as possible. It's going to be a massive job (we're scheduled to come back in a couple of weeks and will likely be back a few more times as we get towards the summer), but I think we made a good start! Just look at the difference in the pics.

Belated congratulations to Khiltee on her 10th task, and shoutout to Florence for hitting a fabulous 15! An additional thanks goes to Rachel who figured out that washing-up liquid is the best way to get this kind of paint off your skin!

With January coming to an end, GoodGym Nottingham squeezed in one final task, our second in two days! Our original plan was to be inside at the Sherwood Community Centre, but we had to postpone this due to illness. Instead, we took to the streets of Sherwood to do a spot of litter picking.

Leah, Matt, Rachel and first-timer, Caroline, spent the hour tidying up the litter outside the shops along both sides of Mansfield Road. There were no significant finds, other than what looked like the back of a wing mirror from a bus. Nevertheless, the team filled two bags and left feeling satisfied that the area was looking a little less littery than when they started.

The week’s doubleheader means that GoodGym Nottingham has smashed its January Challenge total with 42 individual good deeds this month. We kick off next month with a new task at the ICCA in Nottingham. Sign up here.
