Yesterday afternoon, Saturday 20th December, Kirsty, Anne, Olalekan, Melanie and Rosa (who joined us for her first ever community mission - Welcome to Goodgym) met at Woking Leisure Centre for a festive community mission supporting Shooting Star Children’s Hospice.
Our task was to promote Shooting Star’s Christmas tree collection service, which takes the hassle out of recycling by collecting trees from homes on Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th January. A minimum donation is welcomed helping raise vital funds for the charity.
The team headed out from the Leisure Center, through Woking Park, around the White Rose Lane area, delivering leaflets to houses and blocks of flats. Covering a few kilometres along the way, the route gave us a little workout with slopes, steps and staircases. The weather stayed calm, crisp, and chilly, ideal once we got moving. Festive vibes were boosted by Anne and Kirsty’s Christmas tutus, which definitely helped spread some extra cheer.
It was lovely to be out in the fresh winter air, combining exercise with something that really matters. Shooting Star Children’s Hospice supports families with a baby, child or young person with a life-limiting condition, as well as bereaved families, across Surrey, South West London and North West London. Every leaflet delivered helps spread awareness and support for this vital service.
By the end of the session, we’d made a strong dent in the leafletting task and everyone kindly took extra leaflets home to continue spreading the word locally.
A tree-mendous effort from the team.

Anne ran 7 kms to meet Richard in Brookwood . We set up an enormous train track to allow children with ADHD/Autism to play in a safe environment.
It is sad to know that this session will be the last one in Brookwood: Richard, who manages "All Aboard Club", has not been able to get funding for this setting. But we were even more enthusiastic to create one of the best track! Three more volunteers came and we worked together for the beautiful result!
We wish "All Aboard Club" the best for the future and hope to be able to run/walk/cycle to Brookwood in order to build more tracks together.

Alys & Stephanie got their rakes on at St John’s the Baptist Church in West Byfleet this morning.
It was chilly 2 degrees and thankfully we’d both brought our boots as it was rather muddy underfoot.
After being equipped with rakes, a leaf scoop and black bags, we got to clearing the drains first so that all the rain were bound to get flows freely where it’s supposed to. Stephanie did a great job clearing them of mud too with the help of a trowel. She did nearly fall down a hole though!
I set to raking the leaves and getting them into black bags. We probably filled around 8 bags (including 4 very large ones) of leaves, and they were helpfully whisked away to the dump by one of the church’s own volunteers.
