🎉 Happy 1 year to Cambridge GoodGym! 🎉

This week marks a year of doing good in Cambridge and we met to celebrate. We love doing good for the community, and tonight was all about a bit of good for the lovely people who make it happen. ♥️

We headed to Cambridge's board room cafe, but we were chatting so much, we didn't get round to playing any games. We heard tales of climbing Mount Fuji, discussed the impacts of poverty on wellbeing, and of course debriefed the traitors final! Quite the eclectic mix.

TaskForce met early to do a little bit of planning, whilst indulging in some delicious milkshakes. It was then great to welcome newer GoodGymers and get to know each other better as Cambridge GoodGym goes from strength to strength.

✨ 1 year on from our first Community Mission in Cambridge, we look forward to what the next year holds!🙌

Storm Benjamin didn't stop play, so we hit the streets of Cambridge again this week to keep the area tidy. Taking a steady jog, we headed this time to the bus station and surrounding green space. There wasn't as much litter as we were expecting, but we managed to collect nearly a bag full in 40 minutes, so a good effort 💪 A lovely member of the public stopped to say they were grateful for what we were doing, which was a nice reminder of the impact we have.

It was brilliant to welcome Ilse for her first GoodGym task 🙌

From weeding borders to sweeping paths, we turned teamwork into tidy work at tonight's task

We started with a stretch, then sprinted straight into action, ready to weed, sweep and spruce up the green spaces at Castle School.

Alan and I set to sorting the borders and the driveway, while Stephen worked on clearing round the school entrance. Strong work from all, filling a wheelie bin with green waste. Alongside the weeding, a bin vs. broom race brought a bit of added silliness. 🧹

With the grounds looking great and spirits high, we jogged back feeling proud (and rather more dusty!)

We look forward to coming back next week to tackle more 💪
