Apologies to anyone who loves the folk song Scarborough Fair, and to Simon and Garfunkle

Are you going to Hockwell Job Fair ?
Goodgymers gave up their free time.
We gave our help to those who lived near there.
Registered and helped them to sign.

Ali and Abdo had arrived their first.
Goodgymers giving lots of time.
Without no fuss they got straight to work,
Tables organised in straight lines.

Gill and Musa arrived with Omar.
Goodgymers are rays of sunshine,
They helped set up - their work was 5 star.
Every thing was ready in time.

People came to Hockwell Job Fair.
And we signed them up in the line.
Then folded tables, stacking the chairs.
Hall was tidied in record time.

David and Omar arrived at the Hockwell Ring Community Centre to help set up this family-fun fair bringing the community together.

We put up gazebos, hung up bunting, set up tables and chairs, arranged the cafe, unloaded cars and did a quick litterpick outside.

With everything ready for the party to start, we set off on our bikes back into town on a fast ride as we raced an advancing rain shower!

Hosting at the Community Jobs Fairs has become a regular occurrence for GoodGym and it was good to have team of experienced job fairs hosts, joined by Emmanuel for his first one. The tasks involved welcoming clients and supporting them with the registration process. Emmanuel soon got the hang of the electronic registrations and along with Abdo, Omar and Gill, they were able to sit and support people filling in the online form. Ali kept us on our toes, making sure we had the correct form on the iPads and also keeping a record of the number of people coming in. It was a good opportunity to network with some of the employers as well as to make the visitors feel welcome and at ease. Gill also took the opportunity to liaise with groups such as You Turn Futures, who may wish to sign post some of the people they support to join GoodGym who would like to do some active volunteering. Once again Matt and Shannon were really appreciative of our support, and now know that, as old hands, they can rely on us to be the hosts with the most.

We have done such a wonderful task to help Easter celebrations for aome of the older folk with wonderful people. We hope you've had a wonderful Easter those who celebrated . Happy Easter 🐰 🐣 😀

6 of Luton's Goodgymers took part in the last of the BIG January tidy up weeks. An extra push to keep our communities clean and tidy as part of the Goodgym January challenge. Whether it's nipping out on your lunch break or litterpicking before a Goodgym group run, this month has seen our Goodgymers go above and beyond keeping Britain tidy. We'll done to everyone who's taken part. Great job team 👏

Week 4 of The BIG January tidy up and 4 of the Luton faithful are still happy to brave the elements to keep their communities looking immaculate. This week seeing a part of Hightown getting the once over, Wardown Park having a pre parkrun tidy up and the area around Holy Trinity Church ⛪️ being cleared of 6 bags worth of rubbish. Really good effort this week team. Well done 👏
