This week, seven Coventry Goodgymers went to Carriers of Hope for our regular volunteering session.

Our tasks for the evening included sorting donations of toys, clothes and nappies, checking dates on food donations, breaking down cardboard boxes and having a good ol' post-christmas tidy up. Three Goodgymers got stuck into the tasks for the evening, whilst another four headed out on a social 5k run in the local area, and then joined the task after the run. We had a great evening as ever and are looking forward to returning next month for some more Goodgym fun.

HO HO HO! A fun night joining Santa through the streets of Kenilworth for the Kenilworth Round table. In total we collected £496.44 for local good causes including Myton Hospice and Pass The Smile :)

A big thank you from Colin from the Round Table for all you help.

December already !! And another amazing visit to the Carriers of hope. 7 Goodgymers came along for a fun filled evening, sorting through all of the amazing toys. The toys needed to be sorted out ready for presents for Christmas 🎄

There was a lot to go through, and some very exciting games, books puzzles and toys !
Nigel kept us entertained with some keyboard cameo and costume performance 🤣

Great task that everyone enjoyed, and managed to get it all done for this month's visit to Carriers of hope ! 🙌

Despite the cold evening, four GoodGymers made their way to Canley to deliver leaflets. Laura, Lil, James, and Chris met up just outside the Cannon Park shopping centre to start their walk. The chosen route took us through a rather spooky alleyway, and out onto the Cannon Hill Road.

With much folding of leaflets, much hunting for letterboxes, and more than a little house envy, a good portion of the leaflets for Myton and Pass the Smile got posted to the unsuspecting residents of the area.

After avoiding a few wrong turns, we wound our way to the Kenilworth Road where we turned back to retrace our steps back to the meeting point. Although the selfie outside of Tesco perhaps wasn’t the usual GoodGym photograph, it was much warmer and brighter than the great outdoors.

There was a slightly worrying moment where we discovered how many leaflets were still left, but we gave our numb fingers the benefit of the doubt and congratulated ourselves on a job well done.

6 Goodgymers went to the Clothing Coventry warehouse for our regular donation sorting session.

Our task for this evening was to sort jumper donations into sizes and put them on hangers ready for people to collect. With snow this morning and more cold weather forecast, warm clothing will be very much needed.

Seven GoodGymers came together for a fun-filled evening at the Blind Centre, diving into an exciting game of showdown! We all took turns challenging each other, and to wrap up, Chris and Claire gave us a masterclass in how it’s done.

A huge good luck to Claire, who's heading to Poland in just two weeks to compete in a Showdown tournament!
