We returned to Full Cycle this evening for our group run to power through the remaining tasks on our to-do list - we have our own whiteboard of jobs these days! Of course, the team shifted into gear and wasted no time getting stuck into the usual recycling jobs: sorting cardboard, inner tubes, and tyres for collection.

Then some of us tackled the mountain of wheels, separating tyres from rims and reorganising the storage space to ensure we were using every bit of space efficiently, leaving things spoke and span.

It was a high-energy session of lifting, sorting, and shifting. Some areas of the workshop look some what transformed, so it was another productive night in the bag for GoodGym Kingston. Wheely well done team!

This evening 3 of us went to Searchpoint to help prepare smoothies and healthy snacks which fell in line with there theme for this month. Like us all, the people that use this center are focused on starting off the New year happy and healthy. Anna prepared the snack tray which was perfectly arranged, while Levita and myself made the smoothies. This was all gratefully received as a break in the middle of playing their games and doing jigsaw puzzles. We even had some time to chat with them. while Martel was overseeing the whole evening. A most rewarding evening.

Out we went this week with our litter pickers and tidied up our parks and streets. Well done to all those that got out and about.

A group of Goodgymers donated their pre-loved items to different local charities. Thanks all for participating in this task :)!

This morning bright eyed and bushy tailed, Theodore and Emily arrived to marshal, provide support for the kids that turn up week after week for their parkrun.

In the times Emily has been there some of them have told her proudly they can run faster. Today was a milestone for one as a girl and her mum were going to complete the whole circuit this time. As Theodore says, "consistency is key".

Also, Louise volunteered at a local adult parkrun.

Well done on getting out there and supporting your local park run.

This afternoon we came together to spruce up this recreation ground with other members of the community, clearing it of litter whilist having a chat.
