It was a hive of activity when I arrived at Slough Saba Singh Sports Centre to help set up for the Slough CVS Volunteers Forum.

Arranging tables and chairs, directing people to their allocated table and helping then set up was the order of the day.

50 organisations, ranging from health and wellbeing support, outreach for the homeless, NHS and carers services, fire brigade and local organisations looking for volunteers were in attendance as the Christmas music played.

A lovely morning spent promoting Goodgym Slough at the Slough Voluntary Sector fair

Great to speak to new potential volunteers and connect with other groups

This morning Samuel, Jen and I were on a promotional mission to tell all those who would listen about GoodGym Slough! (and junior parkrun)

Jen and I arrived after our parkrun sessions first thing this morning and were raring to partyyyyyy!

What I didn't know was that whilst I was distracted giving the GG team updates on whatapp I had inadvertently said yes to doing the Silent Disco with Jamie from Slough CVS!

So whilst Jen now manning the desk by herself I went off for a 1.5mile walk/dance/boggie around Slough's most iconic buildings...

Luckily Samuel then joined and did a superb job of promoting us!

Met some lovely new people who hopefully will sign up; join in and #DoGood

Great networking event!

The final task of our January Challenge as we all smashed it! 135 good deeds done and dusted!

Well done to everyone who did something good for Slough. Be it litter picks with your little ones, food bank donations or phone calls to the elderly

Now lets enjoy February

Manjit and Helen joined Slough CVS at their end of year volunteer fayre in Cippenham. It was an opportunity to network with other volunteers in Slough and celebrate the successes this year, all the while promoting Goodgym and encouraging new recruits. There was lots to celebrate - awards, votes of thanks and even Slough CVS 90th birthday with cake and song and lots of presents!

Today Helen and I went to a Slough Networking event to promote GoodGym.

We met so many new contacts and exchanged lots of information on how we could collaboratively work together.

It took me 1.5 hours to eat my baguette - thats how much I had to talk!
