Liverpool Report written by Char Binns

15 boss runners joined our January Bonus Group run to a help a fab project we've never visited before.

Ahead of today's bonus Group Run, some of our team had already squeezed in not one but two good deeds! Is it any wonder that we are bossing it in the January Challenge with dedicated runners like this?! As I write, our little branch is now comfortably in third position. And just 11 days in, we have already surpassed the number of deeds we got in the whole month last year! A-MAZ-ING! There were also as many black t-shirts in the group as red - a clear demonstration of how hard the team has been working lately.

Having struggled to contact the task owner this week, after a steady 2km run I took us to the wrong garden! Looking around, we couldn't see any signs of life and a phone number rang through to the answer machine. Disappointed but not defeated, we moved to a local green space and the team began a litter pick while I nipped to my house a couple of minutes away to grab our stash of litter pickers. Just as a rejoined the group, my phone went and it was Mike from Family Refugee Support Project who was waiting for us at the correct garden!!

About turn and within a couple of minutes we were at a wonderful community allotment where people seeking asylum and refugees can grow vegetables and enjoy the green space. Our task was to help laying new, accessible paths. While some folks took up the blankets laid to kill the weeds over winter, the rest of the team began shoveling, wheeling, raking and stomping tonnes of sandy grit to form a new path.

Shout outs to newbies Lizzie and Natalie - you both did great and I was impressed by how you got stuck it. I'd love to run with you again soon. Also well done to Beckie for bringing a friend!

Thanks also to Tom for joining us from GoodGym Leeds - we're happy for you to take a couple of good deeds back to them ;)

After half an hour we'd made a huge impact, but with another delivery of grit arriving at the garden this week, we reckon we might be able to sneak another Community Mission in next weekend and head back for more. Who's in?

If you're keen for more, we've got loads coming up this week so check it out and sign-up here.

Thanks for making the most of your weekend with GoodGym! See you soon <3
