Today, a brilliant team of six GoodGym volunteers got stuck in at Saffron Acres, supporting their amazing community food growing project.

We tackled the sensory garden with some serious weeding skills and filled 6 wheelbarrows full of green waste that I did attempt to get on top of the compost.

Shout out to Jenny on her first GoodGym good deed, weldone getting stuck and she's already signed up for next week, brilliant! So lovely to catch up in the sunshine while making a difference fantastic efforts all round!

Three GoodGymmers lent a helping hand at the Age UK Superstore. Stu took on shredding (that's a new one!) making light work of a pile of old paperwork, deffinatly a behind the scenes job.

Meanwhile, Jimmy and Lindsay were busy re-labelling and hanging clothes to help get stock ready for customers, a task they are both pro's at now.

Huge shout out to Jimmy who has reached an amazing 300 Good deeds! Weldone Jimmy!

With teamwork and I'm sure there was laughter, it was a productive morning supporting a great cause. Big thanks to the Age UK team for welcoming Goodgym Leicester.

7 GoodGymmers laced up their trainers and grabbed their litter pickers to tackle the towpath along the canal. In partnership with the Canal & River Trust, our mission was clear- to clean up the tow path keeping it spic and span for everyone to enjoy and help the environment.

From plastic bottles and cans to discarded wrappers and bottle tops, no piece of trash was too small to pick up. We filled 4 full bags of trash! A shout-out to our newest member, Gillian, who joined us for her first GoodGym task. Weldone for getting stuck right in, hope you enjoyed it!

On route Dawn placed one of the 'Random acts of knitting and crochet kindness' on a bench for someone to find and bring a smile to their face, weldone Dawn a lovely thing to do.

Weldone everyone fantastic efforts on a lovely sunny day see you again soon!

5 GoodGymmers supporting marshalling and packing away at Watermead Juniors, weldone all.

3 GoodGymmers trim the grass around/under the orchard trees. Centrica were also there for a team build volunteering day, also doing the trees.
