Newcastle Report written by Aimee (she/her)
Three GoodGymers litter picked in the Ouseburn valley on a spring evening. The plan had been to go litter pick down towards the quayside but when we picked up the litter pickers from Stepney Bank Stables Sara informed us that there had been a market in the Ouseburn at the weekend which had been great for the area but resulted in a lot of litter. So we set off up the valley found plenty of cans, drink cups and a lot of newspapers some of which had been frustratingly ripped into little pieces! It was very satisfying clearing up the area post market and we really felt like we made a difference.

On a balmy Monday evening, five GoodGymers headed off from Stepney Bank Stables towards Heaton armed with litter pickers and bin liners. The litter came thick and fast, covering the streets near the stables and especially the undergrowth near the terraced streets of Heaton. Eight bin liners were soon overflowing with litter. A very satisfying and useful task.
We welcomed Thomas, fresh from his exploits at the Tokyo Marathon and Humber Bridge Half Marathon. As gregarious as ever, Thomas managed to lure Richard and Aimee into the pub afterwards for a chat about all things GoodGym, particularly some long lost friends not seen for quite some time.
Jack and Scott also worked hard with the amount of litter on the streets of Newcastle, making a real difference. All five GoodGymers can be proud of their efforts tonight.

On a rather chilly Monday evening, three GoodGymers cleared the Quayside and Ouseburn of lots of litter from the revelry at the weekend. Jack in particular discovered the aftermath of much beer drinking, in the form of many empty cans.
Bin liners were filled very quickly, so much so that the biggest problem was finding bins in which to deposit them. All in all, a very satisfactory night's work.

On a pleasant Monday evening 8 GoodGymers met at One Strawberry Lane before heading to West End Refugee Service. Aimee led the walking group, while Richard led the runners.
Despite a slight mix up over the availability of gardening tools, everyone set to work clearing debris from the garden, particularly tree branches.
Swift progress was made, allowing for a slightly longer, more scenic run back to One Strawberry Lane. Thank you very much to the lovely students from Newcastle University who were attending their first GoodGym session. We hope to see you again at some point Elise, Maria, Isla and Carla! You can keep up to date with what is happening by signing up to the weekly email, browsing the GoodGym website and following any of the GoodGym Newcastle social media pages.
Our next sessions are on Sunday, with some junior parkrun volunteering and (separately) some fundraising for the Marie Curie Campaign.
