"Whey aye" is Geordie for "of course!"

It was a real team effort tonight as we got involved in a wide range of tasks at Recycke Y' Bike, which we love visiting regularly to help out. Thanks to Sarah the task owner for always being so welcoming.

Congratulations Debbie on reaching 50 GoodGym good deeds tonight! A brilliant achievement!

We helped with: • Moving bikes around the workshop • Dismantling and moving shelves (a lot of problem solving) and bike parts/accessories • Louise and Dan were helping set up and put together something (it looked complicated is all I can say but a huge well done!) that deters pidgeons (a big problem for the building/charity) • Sweeping floors • General tidying up

Recyke y' Bike are an amazing charity (based in Byker and Durham) that specialises in refurbishing donated bikes and selling them at affordable prices to fund their charitable objectives. They rely on volunteers to help with all their brilliant work in the local community.
