Tonight 13 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to Edmund Bacon Court.

We were joined by 12 residents to host a Xmas singalong, our final group session of 2025.

In October we had planted trees in their garden, so tonight was an opportunity to meet some of the residents for the first time. Shout out to Rachel for her first GoodGym group session.

The song list tonight was full of favourites, fast and slow, with a breather for refreshments halfway through - thanks again for the festive snacks!

It was a truly jolly evening, finishing with a rousing rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas!

Thanks all for bringing your voices and good cheer. Merry Xmas folks.

Tonight 10 GoodGymer's ran 6km to join the residents at Alfred Nichol Close for a quiz evening!

It was our first visit to this venue, set up in collaboration with Norwich City Council, with the aim to provide a social event for local residents to bring people together and eliminate isolation.

When we arrived we met 14 residents in the communal building ready to take part in a quiz. We split into 3 teams to answer 4 rounds of 60s TV, movie & music trivia.

Halfway through we took a break for tea & cake, provided by the Get Together fund, giving an opportunity for us to get to know one another a bit more.

Once the final results were in, it was time to award Table 1 with the winning prize... a fancy mug and tea infuser!

Kudos to Bob completing his first Good Deed tonight!

The evening was a great success, with requests for GoodGym to return again in the new year!

Tonight 9 Goodgymer's ran or cycled 4km to Don Pratt Court, a retirement housing complex run by Norwich City Council.

We were invited to host a quiz night for the residents, in an area that has not had many community events for a while.

Despite low attendance we continued with our quiz questions, even using Google translate for a Ukrainian resident to take part. This lady has no TV or radio in her property so we kept her entertained for an hour, and even helped show her how to use the washing machine!

The winning team, Quizzee Rascals, won by a single point after a final round of musical intros! Ram Jam anyone??

Tonight 16 GoodGymers ran or cycled to support East Anglia Children's Hospice in Plumstead Road.

We had extra lights and visibility while running to the task, as we were supporting This Girl Can's campaign #LetsLiftTheCurfew to raise awareness of womens safety exercising outdoors in the darker months.

At the store we were given plenty of tasks, cleaning shelves, taking down window displays, sorting out books / furniture and breaking down boxes. It was also a chance to hunt for some bargains when sorting through donations!

Hi Five to Maddy for reaching her 100th Good Deed!! In her words she 'joined GoodGym so she didn't have to run in the dark in winter on her own' - and that is why we are here!

Thanks everyone for making this community a safe and supportive place for all.
