On a calm Sunday morning in Mowbray Park, four GoodGymers voluteered at junior parkrun.

Circumstances were a little unusual due to Sunderland's Festival of Light being set up in the park, with some fairground rides and food stalls present. Unfortunately some Saturday night attendees had littered the park, but Paula came to the rescue armed with a litter picker to clear up as much of the mess up as possible.

Richard, Tanya and Debbie also enjoyed a successful morning of volunteering, as well as a long chat over a cup of tea afterwards.

Four GoodGymers helped we Do Tennis in partnership with Urban Green Newcastle with path clearing on an autumnal Saturday morning.

The 10am start time meant we had all managed to fit a parkrun before hand but had mostly done different local ones with Scott doing Town Moor, Tanya and Debbie attending Leazes and me mostly walking Jesmond Dene due to a sore ankle.

The job was simple but very satisfying, raking leaves and removing soil and weeds from the path near the tennis courts where leaves are blown and then get stuck on fence. Once we had done the edge of the tennis courts we also did a nearby set of steps.

The difference we to the path and steps in only one hour was UnbeLEAFable!
