It might be a rainy day, but that didn't stop 17 GoodGymer's arriving at Norwich Foodbank.

Norwich foodbank supports local individuals and families through the provision of emergency food supplies. Nutritionally balanced emergency foodboxes can cover an individual or family’s basic needs for 72 hours: the critical time gap before other support services kick in.

Tonight there were a range of tasks. - Unpacking and organising cartons of milk, hot dogs & 'Savers' tomatoes into crakes. - Labelling and moving crates around the warehouse. - Checking dates and weighing items ready to be packed into food parcels.

Always a popular task, and great to see the 'before' and 'after' amounts achieved in an hour! Shout out to Robert for completing his first GoodGym session!

Good news - we will be returning again next month for more warehouse Jenga.

Eight Goodgymer's headed to Mousehold Heath, to support the Warden Will with clearing some areas of gorse. Pockets of gorse had started to take over as it had been thriving in the warmer winters, so this work supported habitat creation.

The weather was slightly blustery but it was a lovely autumn day to be helping on the heath. The session was also supported by two canine coaches Emmy and Tess who were there ensuring we did a good job.

At GoodGym we are celebrating This Girl Can's Move10 campaign - keeping things simple. 10 minutes of movement, 10 times over a month, in whatever way works for you.

"We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever."

It was our last Monday at Mousehold of the year, just before it gets too dark - but don't worry we're heading back for a few Saturday sessions if you missed out!

Always a favourite task - with 19 GoodGymers attending, Will lead us all to the area needing work. Pulling braken to allow other plant species to grow, and carrying piles across the heath.

We spread out into 3 areas, it was a very social evening and rewarding to see how much of difference it made!

Shout outs to Gemma, Rachel and Lizzie all completing their first Good Deed!

Will kindly treated us to some tasty snacks, which was a lovely way to finish the evening as the night drew in.

Dig out those headtorches for next week folks!

16 Goodgymers attended our Monday session to support our local warden Will, to care for Mousehold Heath, an important local habitat.

Will explained to the group the extent of a recent wild fire and all they were doing to reduce local fire risks.

We split into a 3 groups; one moving a drying pile of old bracken, one group bracken pulling, and one removing pockets of gorse and stumps to support fire engine access routes.

A very warm welcome to Eve and well done for joining your first GoodGym session.
