Simone and Claudia met at the Food Bank Aid this afternoon and spent few hours helping out organise all the food deliveries.

We were joined by another Food Bank volunteer and the three of us worked none stop to complete what seemed like an impossible task.

We got there and there were food bags and Sainsbury’s and Tesco crates everywhere. Have a look at the before and after pictures.

The team did a cracking job!

Keep up the great work.

Peas & loaf GGers!

On Halloween, Laura, Simone and Yeskia helped with registration and distributed bracelets to visitors at the entrance for Stephens house Halloween event. Simone was stationed at the entrance to the spooky cellar, while Laura and Yeskia went around the gardens where the "ghost hunt" was organized for children. They checked everything was in order and ensured that everyone had a great time.

Five Good Gym runners came together to help Martin Primary School and it’s forest paths. We gathered at Phoenix cinema to have a chat and a warmup outside. It was a beautiful warm summers day, a great day for a nice short run along the High Street to the school. Where we met Simone who had gone directly from home, and John, who had the tools for the job. The school has developed a piece of land adjacent to playing fields, which is an amazing woodland to learn about nature. Full of fruit trees, compostable toilets, mud kitchens, hammocks and best of all a parachute tent nestled among the trees. It makes you want to be a kid again! We set about our work, shovelling woodchip into the wheelbarrows and distributing it along the path and well used spaces. It was wheely good fun! We finished at the school and did some warmup yoga before running back to the Phoenix Cinema.

Thanks for coming running and doing some good!
