Block or report Ikechukwu Christian

Tonight 10 GoodGymers ran up to Bedford Fields Community Garden to do a variety of tasks. Between us we emptied the van, tidied up the borders, cleared a path, weeded and litter picked the area! It was a whirlwind but we got a lot done in an hour and 10 minutes. We did however almost lose two members when Bryony & Shannen diligently litter picked on the paths above the garden...a moment of panic when we thought they'd got lost. Luckily they came back with 2 full bags of litter.
Well done everyone!
A big GoodGym welcome to Sana tonight on her first session and welcome back to Kerry, Lana & Irene.

Leeds Report written by Leeds runner
On Sunday, three GoodGymers made their way down to Surplus2Purpose. A very productive session for everyone with Christian putting many kilos of sugar and beans into small pots for customers. Alice seemed to run the show for us being Adam's trusted volunteer of the day, helping to arrange the shop floor, stocking and tidying the drinks fridge, as well as quality controlling hundreds of fruit and vegetables. As a now regular volunteer, I helped Adam by manning the till and helping out customers.
The GoodGymers today were the sole volunteers in the afternoon so the help was very much a help as the organisation had a record Sunday, probably spurred by the 5KG of bacon for £4.50!
We ended our day by trading in our volunteer credits for some already highly discounted goodies. On the way out, Alice spotted some Blueberry Bagels, that are part of the community bakery section which is completely free, that she managed to take home as a little treat - is it a stretch to name this report after that? Probably

It's never a stretch to create a pun out of the smallest moment! 😀

Tonight we met at Heart and headed into Tiny Boo for a deep clean of the nursery space. There were 13 of us, so it didn't take long to clean the furniture, toys, carpet and climbing frame. Some of the group did the surfaces in the corridors as well.
We were supposed to be having a game of rounders in the park but it was rainy and wet so we decided just to head to the pub for a rounder drinks instead!
We went to Head of Steam and found 2 Shuffleboards where we had a tournament with Bryony and Jitheesh winning their rounds but Bryony taking the final win...Well done Bryony!
Some of the boys played darts & pool. It was great catching up over a drink, thanks all & see you for the next installment.

With a nice big group of 15 GoodGymers, tonight we had two groups, one for runners & one for walkers and we all headed up to Rosebank to litter pick for Hyde Park Source.
We filled a whopping 15 purple bags full of weird & wonderful rubbish including jeans, knickers & a CCTV sign!
The area was much improved after we left, so well done to the whole team!
Welcome to 3 lovely newcomers Pik, Lana & Kerry. We hope to see you all again soon.

Tonight 10 GoodGymers ran down to Homeless Hampers for our quickest task yet!
We created hygiene bags for 20 men and 20 women for the Homeless Hampers team to give out this weekend. We also sorted out clothes and shoes to pack the van for them to be given out to homeless people in Leeds.
Many hands make light work & after a quick 40 minute task we were done and could run back to Heart.
For once we were all back home in good time for an earlier than usual Wednesday dinner!
It was great to meet Jitheesh tonight for his first session & to welcome back Shannen who used to be a member a couple of years ago. We hope to see you both again soon.
Well done all!
