We had a very satisfying morning wrestling brambles. Two GoodGymers joined other volunteers to help clear the area next to Coldham's Brook, a chalk stream habitat. We made excellent progress cutting back some very overgrown bramble. With tea, biscuits and some enjoyable conversation, it was an great task. Thanks to Caitlin for welcoming us and we look forward to supporting another task soon.

Good gym Cambridge had a great time shoveling wood chippings into wheelbarrows and spreading on children's bike track this Saturday to improve safety and fun for the little ones 🤗

Despite the cold and the light hail(!), it was a great morning and we all certainly got our steps in!

The muddiest parkrun yet! Great morning supporting the team at Milton parkrun. Kudos to all the runners slipping and sliding round the course.

Tonight GoodGym Cambridge supported Cambridge Community Kitchen by joining regular volunteers to deliver hot meals to those that need them around the city. Taking on a 5 mile route, not only did volunteers do good, we definitely got our heart rates up. The CCK team were welcoming and volunteers were treated to delicious food to refuel after the cycle.

CCK is a fantastic organisation doing important work and we look forward to supporting again soon!

A lovely sunny morning pruning gooseberry bushes and apple trees at Margaret Wright Community Orchard.

We learned lots from Leo about how to shape properly, looking out for branches growing into the centre of the tree and those that would block the light of others. For a first go, we were pleased with the outcome!

It was lovely to meet new a GoodGymer,Sophia, and thanks to the team from Abbey People for being so welcoming. We look forward to next time.

1 GoodGymer, 2 volunteering tasks and a whole lot of mud.

After running the course as a pacer, which was harder work than anticipated with a bit of slipping and sliding, I set to sorting finish tokens. A satisfying job in itself made all the better discussing with the group the benefits of staying around a little after crossing the finish line to meet new people, and getting the glow of knowing you've helped give back by volunteering. And that's what it's about.

All made for a great first time supporting the lovely team at Coldham’s Common. Thanks to Andrew for the warm welcome and we'll be back again soon.
