Today 6 GoodGymer's ran or cycled to Greenfields Community Centre, close to Catton Park.

A few of us either ran or marshaled at Catton Parkrun before heading to the task.

The venue is surrounded by trees so the building's perimeter was completely covered in leaves. Armed with tools borrowed from Catton Grove (another regular GoodGym task) we got to work sweeping leaves & cutting back weeds.

After 1 hour we had filled up a whopping 27 bags of leaves!.

Woody also used his employment skills to lay out a mesh mat, essentially a black carpet, over the area we had cleared.

Shout Out to Katy joining us for her first session! Well done team.

I marshalled at Eaton Junior Parkrun. It was a bright sunny morning, but very chilly at my breezy marshal point. Lots of youngsters turned out to run.

303 people running/walking/jogging around Catton Park, in the drizzle! 3 D.O.E young people are with us at present and what a great job they did.

A lovely Friday morning task for Mr K. We arrived a little late but got stuck in building a treadmill and an abdominal roller for Mr K. With some patience and repetition, we eventually succeded. Even having time to run a couple of tests on the equipment to make sure they were able to be used safely.

After this we also helped reset a couple of shelving units.

When we left Mr K was very pleased with all that we had accomplished.

38 very hardy young people splashing around 2k at Waterloo Park junior Parkrun while us Volunteers battled the elements. So worth it to see them enjoying the great outdoors

Tonight 7 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to support John Grooms Court, a residential home for adults with physical and intellectual disabilities.

The task was to paint the outdoor decking and fences, an area that had been neglected but is the only outdoor space available to the residents.

We were given a large pot of 'Duck's back' paint (hence the pun) and shared it out between us to cover as much of the area as possible.

The weather wasn't kind to us - low temperatures & increasing rain! But we stuck to the task until the paint was gone.. then it really was time to say goodbye, dry off and warm up!

Amazing effort team.
