This morning the Singing Cafe at Sundon Park Baptist Church played host to around 50 people. This weekly event run by the church and supported by local Goodgymers 🙌 gives members of the local community a chance to get out and meet others where they possibly may not have. Age is no barrier at this event as there were toddlers, teens, young adults and I was even introduced to a lady who was proud to 96 years of age. There was lots of food for everyone and coffee, tea and soft drinks were also available. After the food had been devoured our very own Charmaine turned up the volume on the stereo and got everyone up dancing, whilst proudly showing off her recently acquired wings t-shirt 🪽 for completing 100 GG tasks. It was a real pleasure to support this task today and I hope to share in the fun and laughter again some time soon. Well done team, great effort today 👏

This week's group run was a long one heading out to a raking task by the river a good 5km away from our start point in town.

We had to throw in a small diversion to pick up the rakes and a drag mat from a locked up allotment nearby and then head over to the riverside where a long lone of brambles had been cut down and our task was to rake up the cuttings and drag them over the bridge to a spot where they can be collected by van.

David, Omar and Martin did their best and collected an impressive pile in the short time on site. A few more people would have been lovely as it was definitely hard work!

We left definitely feeling like we'd had a workout and wishing we'd eaten before instead of after the task!

Four Luton Goodgymers helped to support the 2nd day of Breakfast Battery Boxes half term project. The team packed and distributed 20 food parcels for the organisation. Working with other volunteers from the local community, Goodgym were able to give a helping hand to some of our vulnerable families in Luton North. Great work team 👏

The volunteers were very welcoming and gave effective instructions. The guests really enjoyed the three course meal and the chance to socialise.

Valentine's Day celebration at the singing cafe event today featured a lively karaoke, a red dress code, a joyful birthday celebration and plenty food yummies. Attendees enjoyed a vibrant atmosphere and community spirit with the support of 3-goodgymers and volunteers from Sundon Baptist Church making it another memorable and successful gathering.

3 Goodgymers helped Breakfast Battery Boxes pack and distribute food parcels with Breakfast foods and ingredients as part of their ongoing project during the school holidays. This is a community run voluntary organisation that are helping to support families and individuals that may be feeling the pinch. Today was a particularly busy session and we helped the BBB team to provide boxes for roughly 20 families. As ever the addition of some GG muscle helped to make the session run smoothly. Well done team 👏
