On a grey and drizzley Feburary morning three Good Gymers made their way up to Queen's Park Junior Parkrun. Brighton's newest Parkrun always needs volunteers to run (literally and metaphorically) Despite the weather 41 runners came with 32 volunteers supporting! Phil was running a tight ship as Run Director and Michael was keeping track of timing. I was marshalling and encouraging runners up the hill.

On a drizzly day that was perfect for running, but less so for volunteering I lifted and stacked 10 metal fences from the funnel - that’s my gym work done for the day! Now coffee 🙏

At our arrival at Cardinal Newman School yesterday, Brighton GoodGymers were welcomed by the lovely duty manager Pedro and a giant infographic tower showing 5 ways to wellbeing. The 5 ways to wellbeing are a set of actions that can help students to improve mental health and wellbeing:
Give me a Five, GoodGymers! We clicked all the boxes at our GoodGym group community mission yesterday evening!
After any GoodGym session, I always feel better, don’t you?
The Cardinal Newman School offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports, STEM clubs, and trips. Last time here, it was for the Running Out of Time – Save the Planet relay. I am amazed by all what is going on here, thanks to the great and responsible enthusiasm of the school staff and the wiliness of the young people to feel and make a difference!
For this week dedicated to children's menthal health, GoodGym Brighton is proud to keep helping this school path in encouraging children and young people to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means for them. 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself'
WHAT's ON NEXT at GoodGym Brighton?
Plenty to amuse you to join us soon.
EVERYBODY is welcome!

Holding some bags of rubbish walking 100 meters to the bin is easy for many people. However, it is not for some vulunable. This is just a tiny task but it may make a different day for others. I do believe there are many similar tasks waiting for us in our community and I hope more GoodGymers will be ready for it.

Following the fabulous 768 chilly runners crossing the line the volunteer team do a great job of closing down the event and leaving no trace. I carried the funnel fences to stack behind the beach huts before retiring for a veggie sausage bap! Yum 😋
