Well done, team - fantastic efforts today, four full bags of litter collected along the canal and Slater Street, that's less filling up the canal!

Armed with litter pickers, bags, hoops, and plenty of energy, five fantastic GoodGymmers set off down the canal path toward Slater Street (because let’s face it, there’s always a can or two waiting for us there). As expected, Slater Street didn’t disappoint - but neither did we.

With the sun beaming down and the conversations flowing, it was a perfect day for our task. After doing our good deed, we enjoyed a brisk walk back to base, feeling great about our efforts.

Great to see one of our newest members Julie again and hear about her past marathon successes after Sarah is still talking about London.

Special shout-out to Stu our walking inspiration who's aiming for an incredible 100 miles in May. He’s already clocked up 50 miles, and we’re only halfway through the month. Keep stepping, Stu, keep us updated!

Goodgymers Jen and Stu met up with Richard from CRT for a walk along the towpath picking litter as they went. The temperature was lower than the day before which made it quite a pleasant walk. The usual collection of drinks cans and bottles made up the majority of the rubbish snaffled into bin bags. A late find of a football provided another predictable find. Eight bags of rubbish collected and a patch of giant bog weed reported in by Rich. The vegetation is growing making the towpath area look quite lush and green. Well done to Stuart for keeping up with his Equinox24 Training.Stu

A team of seven enthusiastic GoodGymmers came together to lend a helping hand at the Age UK Superstore this week. The group was tasked with sorting through a large collection of CDs, DVDs, and books, helping to categorize them and prepare them for sale.

Mel, Lynn, Nick, and Stu focused on organizing and categorizing CDs and DVDs, while Dawn and Lindsay took charge of sorting books particularly in the history and cooking sections. Once sorted, items were neatly stacked to a 1 meter high shelf length, ready for display and pricing.

The task was a refreshing change from the usual clothes sorting, and everyone enjoyed the variety. There was a strong sense of achievement as the team reached their 1-meter stacking goal, demonstrating teamwork and efficiency.

A special shoutout to Stu, who is running the Shakespeare Half Marathon this weekend, best of luck! It was inspiring to hear about his training for an upcoming 24 hour event, walking an impressive 20 to 40 miles per week. And kudos to Mel, who has now completed five months of doing a 5K every single day!

A fantastic effort all around weldone team!

A good session catching some rays and boosting our vitamin D at Saffron Acres. Today's task was clearing most of the old bramble patch.

The Goodgymmers were in their element with nature finding a sleeping hedgehog, old birds nest and both their bee hives swarmed and flew off while we were there.

Weldone everyone fantastic efforts as always, see you next time.
