An amazing number of Goodgymmers responded to a request to support Maidenhead Foodshare with donations. Dozens of cans, packets and bottles were dropped off at various collection points, delivered via runs, walks and cycle rides. A great effort to support those in our comunity who need help, whilst getting fit. Epic result!

Our second Friday lunchtime litter pick of 2024!
It was fantastic to see another big turnout, including newcomers Kadriye, Carol, Roger, Angela, Sue and Simon. A big, warm GoodGym welcome to all of you.
Juli, Gillian, Tessa and Anna were back for their second Friday litter pick on the trot, and it was lovely to catch up with Vikie, who was back for her first good deed of the year.
We met in the car park at Boyn Grove Park and shared out pickers, hoops, bags and safety advice before fanning out in small groups into the local area in hunt of litter.
We covered the park, Wootton Way, a stretch of the A4, a stretch of Courthouse Road, and Muddy Lane, and as ever we found plenty. There was the usual plethora of bottles and cans, plus some more surprising items. Sue found a broken old laptop, I found a doll, Angela a bank card, and Gillian a pair of pants. She seems to be making a habit of that!
We reconvened after 45 minutes and loaded the bags into my car to be taken to a bigger bin.
Meanwhile Georgeta, Amanda, Kanika and Diya tackled rubbish in their own areas in Maidenhead and Windsor.
Georgeta found abandoned school uniform and so many bottles that she had to shorten her route. It was lovely to hear that a couple walking their dog stopped to thank her and to hear about GoodGym.
Bin there, done that - great work team!

I think I recognized Georgeta' underpass location. I have litter-picked there several times. Well done, Georgeta! 👏

Sheila and Vikie both helped out at the Baby Bank today, and Vikie brought 13 of her colleagues from Microsoft who were on a corporate responsibility day. I was impressed by their enthusiasm and energy levels as they got to grips with the niceties of sorting clothes to the standards required. The whole place was very busy, getting as much done as possible before the half-term break. A satisfying morning's work

Vikie and Sheila went to help out at the Baby Bank this morning. We were tasked with sorting out the ladies' clothes, which were all jumbled up and spilling out of their boxes. It was quite a challenge sorting them out and getting to grips with UK, European and US sizing. Some of them which were just labelled Small or Medium, we ended up trying ourselves to gauge the relative size It was satisfying to see everything neatly stored away in their boxes, which will make it so much easier when requests come in for certain-sized clothes. Good job!
