For today's session we combined fitness, business and pleasure with our leaflet delivery and monthly social!

Catherine, Beth and Caroline met first and caught up during for a gentle 4km run (made to a round number!), jogging across town to meet Michele 🏃‍♀️

The foursome then set off with leaflets promoting Arthur Rank Hospice's 'Star Shine Night Walk', pinning on supermarket notice boards and dropping off in pubs around town 🔦

We made sure to end at the fantastic Free Press pub for our March monthly social, where we bought an array of crisps as an extra treat to accompany our drinks. The jalapeño & dill divided the crowd, but we all kept going back for more! 🍻

A HUGE shout-out to Michele on her 10th good deed with Goodgym - congratulations! Here's to the next 10 🙌 🎉

A bit of soggy plogging for this evening's task.

Five Googymers braved the rain to help keep the streets of Cambridge clean and tidy. We jogged along Mill Road and split into two teams to litter pick our way back to the meet point. We found the usual coffee cups, plastic bottles, and a shocking number of cigarette butts. Nick had been at it before we met and collected a bag full of batteries! As a bonus we saw a Dinky Door (tiny street art), which is always fun.

The weather might have been miserable, but catching up and improving the local area always feels good.

We're half way through the January Challenge and we end the week with a few more kms and some all important good deeds.

Well done team 🙌

We had a tea-riffic time with Turtle Dove this evening, continuing the inventory of their stock.

3 GoodGymers walked, ran and cycled to the task, which was thankfully under cover and therefore much warmer!

This week saw Ilse putting her childrens wardrobe organising skills to good use by sorting uniform, Beth took on plates and I was on cutlery. Childhood time spent categorising marbles came in very handy! It was a team effort at the end, and 170 teaspoons and 153 butter knives later, we had got the cutlery categorised and counted. A very satisfying job.

We even had time to enjoy some cake 🧁

🎉 Happy 1 year to Cambridge GoodGym! 🎉

This week marks a year of doing good in Cambridge and we met to celebrate. We love doing good for the community, and tonight was all about a bit of good for the lovely people who make it happen. ♥️

We headed to Cambridge's board room cafe, but we were chatting so much, we didn't get round to playing any games. We heard tales of climbing Mount Fuji, discussed the impacts of poverty on wellbeing, and of course debriefed the traitors final! Quite the eclectic mix.

TaskForce met early to do a little bit of planning, whilst indulging in some delicious milkshakes. It was then great to welcome newer GoodGymers and get to know each other better as Cambridge GoodGym goes from strength to strength.

✨ 1 year on from our first Community Mission in Cambridge, we look forward to what the next year holds!🙌
