We had volunteers coming out of our ears at Junior parkrun this morning - both the regular EJPers and the GoodGym contingent.

Lots of roles were covered, from set-up to parkwalking, marshalling to barcode scanning.

Well done team!

We helped with litter picking for Baffins pond association this morning. Val, Nia and Aoife interrupted a squirrel gathering in the woods and Abby almost had my hat stolen by grandad squirrel.

We circled the woods and picked up lots of sweet wrappers, cigarette butts and pieces of glass. Found some interesting fungi and Judy managed to find 3 tokens from last years Easter egg hunt a year after we hid them!

Finished off with making friends with a lovely Italian greyhound called Wilfred 🐾. Also managed to see a massive swan sitting on his nest! Maybe keeping his eggs warm? Looking forward to seeing some cygnets in the future!

A good clear out always feels good and these GoodGymers felt even better as their pre loved clothes, shoes and bric-a-brac were all donated to Sam's Place.

All sales from the shop will fund local Samaritans services. ❤️

Portsmouth Hive put out a request for Valentine-themed decorations for a Care Home, so we responded to the call.

There was some at-home crafting and a lunchtime MAKE session.

Plenty of love-themed crafting was the result.

Well done to everyone who took part in the RED January Challenge! Especially for our cyclists, whose distances are reduced by 75% on the GoodGym website, it was super to see the epic distances we've covered as a team.

Staying motivated to keep active in the cold, dark winter months is always a challenge, but it's certainly much easier with support from our GG chums!

GoodGymers applied their grey matter to the puzzling problem of jigsaw checking.

We enlisted partners, kids, pets and fellow GGers to complete puzzles ranging from 500 to 1500 pieces. The puzzles could then be returned to MAKE for sale in their shop.

So far with the help, of colleagues friends and family GoodGym Portsmouth (with a little help from Luton and Kingston Upon Thames) have donated a whooping 107 tubs to the pub.

These tubs will be recycled and the funds donated to Macmillan Cancer Trust
