Team Gazebo were back in action during the Family Festival pack down. Tracey was also back on the litter picking and the site was looking phenomenal within just 45 minutes of the event finishing.

GoodGym also came to the rescue of one of the stall holder's vans, which had gotten stuck in woodchips during the day. With some muscle and some other helpful bystanders, we managed to push the van out of the dirt and onto the concrete path.

Stewarding at events often looks different, but Dave definitely went above and beyond on this one!

During the festival, he took on the role of Stomper, one of the mascots of Portsmouth Libraries' Stomp for Stamps active kids initiative. He got to show off his dance moves, high fives and fist bumps, keeping the kids very entertained!

He was also able to take Pudsey Bear out for a stroll to meet the kids, and supervised him during an archery lesson!

On top of all that, he was blowing up endless balloons and handing them out, whilst Tracey spent an epic amount of time picking litter and generally keeping the site clear.

We had an early start helping Home-Start set up for their Family Festival.

The dream team assembled an insane number of gazebos in less than two hours, and helped lots of charities get their stalls set up too.

We also bumped into Wilson and their dad out with Portsmouth Joggers this morning - always lovely to spot a GoodGymer in the wild!

We may have lacked in numbers this evening, but this was certainly made up for by enthusiasm! To everyone's relief, we weren't doing door-to-door letter box drops, but finding community boards across the the city to post flyers for Home-Start's next volunteer training course.

Team DJ (Dave and Jen) headed west towards Gunwharf and covered around 4.5 miles, stopping at 11 venues along the way.

Meanwhile, Sammy and Vicki (team name tbc) headed east and confused plenty of supermarket staff asking for the locations of their community boards. Vicki also did a bit of leaflet collecting for her work, whilst Sam had a bit of a social after bumping into a friend on their travels.

We all managed to rendezvous on our way back to base at Fratton, and had a relaxed and chatty walk home. Great job, guys!

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Christmas Hamper for a Home-Start Family. Your generosity is so valued by the charity and the family are sure to be delighted!

We welcomed Lorna to her very first GoodGym session this morning and worked her hard from the moment she arrived! Lorna also stayed on at Summer of Love for the next two missions which was super.

There were gazebos to put up, cars and vans to be marshalled on to the site and tables and stalls to organise. I can't say many hands made light work exactly, but the the help of GoodGym made things run very smoothly indeed.
