This week’s GoodGym adventure took us back to the wonderful team at Azalea, where we helped wrap up the festive season and give the space a fresh new feel 💫.

🎅 Core task: Packing away Christmas! Baubles were boxed, tinsel was tamed, trees torn down and fairy lights were gently untangled and stored with care. Packing away decorations always leaves a place feeling tidy and ready for the new year!

🎨 Meanwhile, we grabbed brushes and added a fresh lick of paint around the radiators where radiator guards had been removed 🖌️

📦 Down in the basement store room, we sorted, stacked, and streamlined supplies, making the space more usable and organised.

🧹 Then it was time to vacuum the carpets of the tinsel and tree debris, leaving the place looking spick and span. We might not have worn capes, but we definitely brought the sparkle ✨.

🪜 And let’s not forget the stairs, so many stairs! Our quads got a bonus workout as we zipped up and down, clocking up steps like pros 📈.

🏃‍♂️💨 With the tasks complete, we hit the town for a run around and a steps-based fitness session to really work those quads! Who needs a gym when you’ve got GoodGym?

💖 Huge thanks to Azalea for welcoming us back. We love supporting the amazing work you do. And hats off to the team for bringing energy, elbow grease, and good vibes to every floor!

Congratulations to Fitsum for joining his first session with us, hope to see you again soon!

This morning three of us met at High Town Baptist Church to finish the deep clean that Gill started last week. Omar and Nuriya joined her and got stuck in. In fact fact I thought Omar might get stuck in the the space behind to oven as he cleaned behind it. After 2 hours of scrubbing, washing, sweeping and tidying the kitchen was sparkling.

Our GoodGym team were on duty at the Warwick Road Hall to help with the Sri Guru Ravidas Sangat Temple's New Year Party on e again. Our initial duty was to be be on the door: welcoming the guests, checking off the tickets, and selling tickets to anyone who had jot bought one in advance. All the guests received a warm welcome from the team and were shown to their seats with a smile. Throughout the evening we tidied up after each course of the meal and also helped with organisation of the raffle. In fact raffle tickets sales went so well Gill was sent out to buy more tickets. As the party neared the end, with our usual GoodGym efficiency, we took charge if clearing up - stacking chairs, clearing the tables and sweeping the hall. Some of us even managed to find time to join the last guests in some dancing. Sanjeev commended us all for our support throughout the year in the various tasks at the temple we've completed and wished the whole of GoodGym Luton a happy new year.
