Despite the cold evening, four GoodGymers made their way to Canley to deliver leaflets. Laura, Lil, James, and Chris met up just outside the Cannon Park shopping centre to start their walk. The chosen route took us through a rather spooky alleyway, and out onto the Cannon Hill Road.

With much folding of leaflets, much hunting for letterboxes, and more than a little house envy, a good portion of the leaflets for Myton and Pass the Smile got posted to the unsuspecting residents of the area.

After avoiding a few wrong turns, we wound our way to the Kenilworth Road where we turned back to retrace our steps back to the meeting point. Although the selfie outside of Tesco perhaps wasn’t the usual GoodGym photograph, it was much warmer and brighter than the great outdoors.

There was a slightly worrying moment where we discovered how many leaflets were still left, but we gave our numb fingers the benefit of the doubt and congratulated ourselves on a job well done.

6 Goodgymers went to the Clothing Coventry warehouse for our regular donation sorting session.

Our task for this evening was to sort jumper donations into sizes and put them on hangers ready for people to collect. With snow this morning and more cold weather forecast, warm clothing will be very much needed.

Another Saturday morning visit to the wonderful Zen Garden , lakeside allotments!!

Two Goodgymers made it there to help out Springboard ! Today Springboard needed help shifting some shale stone gravel for the base for the new cabin that will be coming very soon . Nigel and I arrived at 10.30 to meet Esther, enthusiastic and cheerful as ever, ! and accompanied by another 6 awesome volunteers. We had 2 hours to shift 2 and a half tonnes of gravel 🫣 It was tough going as we had shovel it into bags, load it in the van and take it off the other side and re bag it all .!! Ready for it to be used for hard-core. Definitely a good work out and we only just got done in time!! 🙌 It was followed up by a well earned cup of tea☕️ sitting down chatting and eating cakes that people had made . Nigel made a shortbread , and there was some apple pie 🥧. A great mornings work !! 🙌 And I look forward to the next visit to Springboard.

Seven GoodGymers came together for a fun-filled evening at the Blind Centre, diving into an exciting game of showdown! We all took turns challenging each other, and to wrap up, Chris and Claire gave us a masterclass in how it’s done.

A huge good luck to Claire, who's heading to Poland in just two weeks to compete in a Showdown tournament!

First off a massive welcome to Rahul who joined us for his first GoodGym session!

Chris and Rahul, along with Michelle got out their spades and dug deep into the conpost heap move it across a little bit.

Meanwhile Claire and Graeme raked up leaves and put them in 3 neat piles so Michelle could collect them up later.

All in all it was a fun and productive morning and we hope to go back in the future!

Another visit to the carriers of hope , 7 awesome goodgymers made it to the task tonight.. What a banger of a night 💥. No fire works needed!
