This morning two GoodGym Leeds members headed over to TRJFP. They helped to move bricks, wood, rubbish and more. By clearing the space, it can now be converted into a community garden. Despite the rain and mud, the GoodGym-ers were undeterred. They cleared the land well, getting it ready for a children's play area.

We hope to be heading back to TRJFP lots of times over the next few months to help them with their garden and new cafe venture!

Despite it being one of the wettest days of the year, two GoodGym runners braved it and headed out to TRJFP to help with their community garden.

Liam ran over and Gemma biked, but both were very soggy on arrival! Because of the rain, the TRJFP team suggested that an inside task may be better, and so Gemma and Liam helped to pack and stack boxes of food ready for redistribution.

After 90 minutes of work, the two GoodGym runners had prepared 25 boxes of ketchup, stock cubes and energy drinks - ready for another team of volunteers to use to pack food boxes for families across Leeds.

GoodGym will head back to TRJFP soon to support with the community garden :)

Four GoodGym Leeds runners, Rachel Carol Suzie and Gemma plus one GoodGym tourist (Jade), headed to The Real Junk Food Project bright and early today to help pack as many food boxes as possible for families across Leeds.

Within 30 minutes of arriving, we had been given our induction, donned our flourescent jackets, and were in the Kindness warehouse, packing boxes with fruit, veg, treats and gifts, ready for delivery. We created a brilliant production line ! Time seemed to fly by and before we knew it, we had been there for 5 hours and had packed over 500 boxes! It was a great community mission as not only did we help make this Christmas a little easier for families, but we also had a work out - carrying crates, squishing boxes and walking around the warehouse .

I am already looking forward to going back to TRJFP so that I can help again. I am sure that the other GoodGym runners are also be keen to support TRJFP as their work to prevent food going to waste is essential, especially at the moment!

(and plenty of chips for free)

Deliveries again for The Real Good Food Project today, we had an update midweek that we'd broken their record for deliveries at 460 something, and then we broke that again today with 600+ I believe.

True to form a bit of organised chaos, with all hands to the deck to finish off packing crates, and deliverisers arriveing and carting off freshly packed boxes faster than we could get them out to the cars, but proud to have helped in a small way getting these out across West Yorkshire of the last couple of weeks.

Routes today were Leeds, then multiple trips to Bradford (Oh Manchester Road how I have NOT missed you) with a quick stop mid morning to litterpick at Potternewton park and celebrate Katie's 50th task (hence taking the cape for a spin)

Well it needs to be if you want to get people to come to the door and collect their Kindness Project food hampers.

Handily, we'd moved back to the fruit crate boxes so managing squeeze far more than you'd expect into a Polo we ticked off another 25 or so deliveries, taking the sunny sights of Huddersfield, all the way back to Normanton.

Out on deliveries again today for The Real Junk Food Project, on arrival it was all hands to the deck to transfer the prepacked plastic crates across to hastily assembled cardboard boxes to get the first few loads out the door. (plastic crates don't come back!)

Cleared a few more routes today with a de-brambling task sandwiched in the middle, touring Flockton and Liversedge, from Crigglestone to Cleckheaton, lost count of box numbers now but a good day's good deed done..
