Our first Monday task at the Foodbank in Stanway was shared with Girl Guides who were being shown around and were sorting packages. The three of us went about cleaning with the usual vigour. Speedy sweeping and a masterful display of mopping was a good workout to end a Monday on a high.
We hope the clocks springing forward and lighter evenings means Mondays become popular Goodgym evenings.

On our first ever Monday evening task we hauled in two large bags of litter, including an old discarded food processor!!!
It was awesome to see Sophie back and immediately getting stuck into picking litter out of bushes and off of pathways...but the snails grabbed the headlines of the evening. The one we spotted on a crisp packet was easily saved and put back into the vegetation, but on a dark evening one snail found itself in our bin bag! Our route took us down Balkerne Hill, around Sheepen Road and back up through St Mary's Fields and as we reach the top and Frazer began to tie up his bag, a little snail was making its bid for freedom from within it!! We helped the little snail out into the foliage and admired it's efforts - one of nature's cleaners saved on an evening where we made a small section of the city a bit cleaner. Well done!
So now the question is what do we name our new Goodgym day? Marvelous Monday, magic Monday or mega Monday? Or something else?

On a not very summary summer evening, our team of four volunteers once more took to cleaning the foodbank, overdue a clean since May. The team was smaller than usual due to people being on holidays, but we were able to get the job done thanks to some late signups.
Bob was super efficient as always, and he helped us get a head start on the day. A quick sweep followed by big mop job, we also got time for a vacuum in the seating area.
Em conjured a new mop bucket recipe that seemed to work, leaving the floors sparkling. And of course, there was time to catch some posed (and surprise) photos of us at work!
We finished the day with a jog home in the rain. It was a great way to work off some energy and celebrate a job well done. Thanks to everyone who volunteered!
