331 people mostly dressed for Christmas festivities ran/walked/jogged around a Misty catton park. It was quite difficult to see participants today. We had plenty of Santas, elves & Mr & Mrs Gingerbredto! Today our very own Goodgym activator Hitch was celebrating his 50th Parkrun volunteering, well done Steven.

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 12 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to Norwich Foodbank to help pack donations.

It was a cold night so everyone kept busy by splitting into groups to form a GoodGym production line - beginning with unpacking boxes of mash & juice, placing the items in plastic crates, taking the crates to be weighed before piling up crates in a corner of the warehouse.

At the same time another group broke down the left over plastic and cardboard, and pushed it on trolley to the recycling area.

In the midst of it all we had Joshua attending his 1st Good Deed, and founding member Steven celebrating his 400th with a special balloon!!

After 45 minutes the task was complete so we headed out into the cold to return home.

9 GoodGymer's turned out for a great morning at Mousehold Heath.

Cutting back Common Gorse, which is an invasive species and has been strangling the heather that grows on the heath. The Heather is a great pollinator and is essential to bees and insects thriving.

The team removed lots of Gorse, with the aid of Will’s big protective gloves and long reaching loppers. After it was removed it was laid on drag mats and taken to a big hole not far away where it can mulch down.

Everyone was in great spirits and could see a massive impact for the hours work that it took of lopping and dragging.

We will be back again in a few weeks for another task in Mousehold.

The team got stuck in this evening as we cleared leaves and planted spring bulbs.

Everyone worked hard and achieved a lot.

Thanks Maddy for the great photos!

351 people on an autumnal feeling morning turned up to run/jog/walk around Catton today. Our very own Steven Hitcham volunteered with our GG mascot Leo to complete his 400th Goodgym Mission. Robert O, Jonathan, Roisin & Susanna were in the GG colours today Well done everyone
