20 of us turned up to help Keith at the Norwich Foodbank. Robert led the runners from the Forum, and we welcomed one new GoodGymer, Diana.

We quickly got to work – Keith sent some of us over to the other side of the warehouse, while Bill, our very own GoodGymer who also regularly volunteers at the foodbank, managed those of us that were sorting donations.

We sorted hundreds of tins of beans, spaghetti, vegetables and more, and we only had two spillages!

Time went by so fast. Its such a satisfying task getting everything in order, knowing that we’re playing a part in helping people get healthy, satisfying food – with a few treats thrown in, of course! Rachel even said that she wishes her day job was more like this as you really feel like you’ve accomplished something.

After just 45 minutes we’d achieved so much. Keith thanked us for our help – the donations we were sorting were bought by the Trussel Trust with financial donations, as they’ve seen a drop in physical donations at supermarkets.

After a few group photos, we all departed knowing we’d all done a good job!

Tonight 7 Goodgymers ran 3km to help support a new community space - Milton Close Wildlife Garden.

It was our first time here, at the start of a new project which is really exciting.

The task was clearing weeds and shrubs that were largely overgrown, to make space for a perennial meadow and a wild flower meadow.

We worked as quickly as we could to fill 7 bags while the night was getting darker.

The next steps for this space will be a planting a selection of bulbs - bluebells, tulips, daffodils, crocuses, grape hyacinth and camassia amongst others.

And we will be back next week to continue the preparation for this!

It was a gorgeous evening in Eaton Park as we arrived as the sun was about to set over the park.

Our task was to give the pond area a good clean up, which consisted of cutting back some overgrown bushes, sweeping up leaves and a litter pick.

Tonight 17 GoodGymers ran 6.5km to support the conservation at Mousehold Heath.

We welcomed first timers Elisa, Beth and Sam who joined us on their first group run.

Mousehold warden Will lead us to the areas needing work, so we split into 2 groups and started pulling up bracken.

Will pointed out areas we have visited before, that showed signs of less bracken and more heather growth and also encourages more insects and wildlife. So tonights task will hopefully go a long way towards continuing this conservation work.

After 50 mins of hard work in the warm weather, we headed home with another job well done!
