Tonight we had a very welcome visitor to Heart, Matthew from BW Legal who presented us with a giant cheque for £772.40!!!! BW Legal raised money throughout October for GoodGym & we were so happy that the team got to meet Matthew & to have a picture with the giant cheque :) We really appreciate BW Legal's support of GoodGym, as funds like this will allow us to continue our good work in Leeds. After the excitement of getting the cheque, we then got to work cleaning the nursery space for Heart. Many hands made light work & we were done in about 35 minutes so we then headed out for 3.23K run (to be very precise)!! Jason led the way tonight & kept good pace for the group, thank you! Well done to Kat for completing her 65th good deed & to Jason for his 15th tonight.

Nine GoodGymers met up at HEART in Headingley for today's task, deep cleaning the Tiny Boo nursery and other community spaces. The nursery looked like it had been ransacked by a herd of sticky fingered toddlers (which is an accurate description of its purpose). We set to it, spraying and wiping, vacuuming and mopping, tidying and lining up the cars in rows 🚗🚙🚕. Everyone played to their strengths and Christian's passion appears to be clearing cobwebs from ceilings (he can visit my home anyday). A big welcome to Dilraj on her first attendence and well done to Sana on her first run with us. Once the areas were spick and span and we left our customary signature message on the chalkboard, we set off on a 4km chatty run around quiet roads and parks in Headingley. Well done everyone!

Tonight we met at Heart and headed into Tiny Boo for a deep clean of the nursery space. There were 13 of us, so it didn't take long to clean the furniture, toys, carpet and climbing frame. Some of the group did the surfaces in the corridors as well.

We were supposed to be having a game of rounders in the park but it was rainy and wet so we decided just to head to the pub for a rounder drinks instead!

We went to Head of Steam and found 2 Shuffleboards where we had a tournament with Bryony and Jitheesh winning their rounds but Bryony taking the final win...Well done Bryony!

Some of the boys played darts & pool. It was great catching up over a drink, thanks all & see you for the next installment.

Seven GoodGym members met at HEART in Headingley to give the 'stay and play' nursery space (Tiny Boo) a spring clean. Much wet wiping, spraying and vacc-ing resulted in a more sanitary condition and once we sorted and put away the toys, it looked a very inviting space to 'stay and play'. We managed to tear ourselves away and had a very spring-like 4km run around the green spaces of Beckett's Park. We returned to HEART for some stretches and a cool down. Looking forward to having a social drink here again soon. A very good start to May

Tonight 6 GoodGymers met at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre to help them with their nursery space. We did a deep clean of toys, tables, chairs & the climbing frame. We're getting quite good at this now so we got through it quite quickly. Naomi found a little, green present on one of the toys from the children, hence the name of this report!! We then went on a 3K run around Headingley but poor Ben had to do a bit longer as he realised that he'd left his keys at Heart! Welcome to newcomers Helen & Sophie who joined us tonight, it was great to meet you both :)

Tonight we met at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre to do a deep clean of the nursery space. Tiny Boo is a drop in centre for preschool children & GoodGym Leeds support them regularly by cleaning the play equipment, the toys, furniture and carpets.

We had a bit of fun trying out the very miniature slide but obviously worked very hard otherwise...honest!

Sadly it was too icy to run tonight but we'll get back to running next week!

It was lovely to see some returning newcomers Ben, Chloe & Freddie and to meet Caroline who had visited us from Wandsworth GoodGym.
