Lovely day, and the garden is looking so much clearer!

Tonight 13 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to Edmund Bacon Court.

We were joined by 12 residents to host a Xmas singalong, our final group session of 2025.

In October we had planted trees in their garden, so tonight was an opportunity to meet some of the residents for the first time. Shout out to Rachel for her first GoodGym group session.

The song list tonight was full of favourites, fast and slow, with a breather for refreshments halfway through - thanks again for the festive snacks!

It was a truly jolly evening, finishing with a rousing rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas!

Thanks all for bringing your voices and good cheer. Merry Xmas folks.

Today's task was transferring mulch to the front of the library to cover their newly planted shrubs, spreading it out and watering new shrubs. We also did some litter picking.

An hour well spent in the winter sun!

284 people running/jogging/walking around Catton Park, 32 volunteers standing out on a cold, crisp, wet grass morning, many in dry robes keeping the elements out. Lots of tourists & first timers enjoying the great out doors, and helping their mental health. A cake stall raising funds for Norwich Community Football for one of our regulars are running the London Marathon in April 2026

Tonight 10 GoodGymer's ran 6km to join the residents at Alfred Nichol Close for a quiz evening!

It was our first visit to this venue, set up in collaboration with Norwich City Council, with the aim to provide a social event for local residents to bring people together and eliminate isolation.

When we arrived we met 14 residents in the communal building ready to take part in a quiz. We split into 3 teams to answer 4 rounds of 60s TV, movie & music trivia.

Halfway through we took a break for tea & cake, provided by the Get Together fund, giving an opportunity for us to get to know one another a bit more.

Once the final results were in, it was time to award Table 1 with the winning prize... a fancy mug and tea infuser!

Kudos to Bob completing his first Good Deed tonight!

The evening was a great success, with requests for GoodGym to return again in the new year!

I marshalled at Eaton Junior Parkrun, where there was a good turn out, with lots of enthusiastic young runners.
