Tonight 11 GoodGymer's ran 2km to Oxfam Magdalen Street store.

High 5's to Francesca who attended her first session!

It was our first visit to this store for 6 years, and store manager Ross still remembered our last visit!

The tasks was going through a large backlog of clothes donations, sorting out the resell-able quality items from the rags (cheap, worn or smelly!).

'Rag' bags are collected and recycled, and the 'keep' items are then priced up and taken to the shop floor below.

Amoungst my favourites was a vintage looking Welsh rugby shirt. Alina had her eye on a few nice items which she was able to purchase!

After 1 hour many many bags had been emptied, sorted and redistributed. Well done team. It was a great evening and we hope to return in the future!

I used my lunch break today to help Mr P to get some of his garden clearer. He’s had distance sight loss so is unable to do this himself now. I helped by clearing a garden bed, trimming back over hanging roses from the path, trimming a small hedge and removing grass from the path to the front door.

Four Goodgymer's ran to Branford Green to help local residents dig out a section of a wild border within a local green space.

A good work out was had in the process! And the Goodgymer's work has enabled the local group to sow wildflowers ready for spring! This will help biodiversity of the area. 

I am not good at puns...but it was a beautiful day to help a woman by taking some items to the charity shop for her.

Today Carey’s the coffee van was back after they’d been on holiday. Our coffee fix is very important when you’re Volunteering! 387 people ran/jogged/walked on a lovely “warm”ish bright morning. Roisin, Alina & Susanna ran for Goodgym today
