We met at the Showroom Cinema, welcomed everyone, and set off on our run towards the River Don. There, we met Andy from the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. He gave us the equipment and described the task. We started litter picking along the routes. Although it was dark, we tried our best — everyone was so supportive and nice! We ran about 3km and came back to the Showroom Cinema, and before leaving, we did some cool-down stretches. Thank you Michelle and everyone for your support!

After a very professional warm-up (the Macarena), we headed to meet Karen from Pitsmoor Pickers. It was about 2k each way, and on the way there we took the scenic route by the River Don (thanks Michelle for the navigation help! We had about 45 minutes to clear up the area around Andover Street, and we all covered as much ground as possible. We got a good few big bags of rubbish and passersby/local residents often stopped to say thanks, which shows what an impact GoodGym has in the community ☺ Litter picking is often very addictive and the time speeds by, not only is it good exercise but its really satisfying to see a measurable difference with each object picked up (and often we conjure stories as to how bizarre objects could've ended up there in the first place!)

The nights are getting darker but GoodGym Sheffield is priveleged to be made up of some shining stars, no matter what the season 🌟

This was my 25th good deed with GoodGym, and I've loved every one! Thank you to every one who has supported me, mentored me, and been a great friend :)

We met up at The Showroom Cinema. We welcomed everyone and set off for the Heeley Green Community Garden. Upon arrival, we met with Fran Elliot who explained the tasks needed to spruce up the area. We all split up in various directions and worked hard, tackling a mix of weeding, tidying the garden area, litter picking, and trimming back some bushes and overgrown weeds. It was dry weather which made tidying up much easier. Altogether, we made a massive difference to this fantastic community garden for local residents to enjoy. A great team with excellent cooperation, chats, and hard work. Thank you to everyone who supported this session and continues to care for the community space.

Although this is Sheffield Goodgym's shortest run, it packs a tall - but enjoyable - task. The common thread project, held at the coworking space on Union Street, is flooded with clothes donations of all kinds, from accessories to baby clothes to jumpers and skirts. We joined other volunteers helping the project by sorting clothes into specific piles to later sort into charity packages ("is it a top or is it a dress?!!"). Aided by some coffee and biscuits, we got through the adult clothes quickly and then moved on to sorting the kids clothes into age order. Overall, the task was very fun and it's great to see a noticeable difference and think towards all the people and projects these clothes will be helping in the future

10 Goodgymmers met up at The Showroom Cinema. Sharsm welcomed everyone. A big Welcome to Lesley who we have not seen for a very long time. He says he will start coming more often now that he is back in Sheffield. We all ran up to meet up with Craig who was waiting for us at the junction of Cricket Inn Road and Maltravers Road. Craig then explained to us the main task of 'Litter Picking' and gave us tools, gloves, bin bags,etc...We all then split up in various directions and worked in pairs. There were lots of rubbish including cans and bottles which made the bin bags heavier than expected. Altogether we collected 13 Full Bin Bags. Gerry then gave us biscuits as a treat. Thank you Gerry and she also ran with us from the Showroom and back again with us. A great team with cooperation, chats and worked hard. Thank you all who supported this organization.

Met up with Jess and over 20 women volunteers. Jess gave us a briefing and explained to all of us if our various roles and responsibilities. She made everyone welcomed and gave us teas, coffee, juice etc with loads if fruit. Then we also met Nick who is the chef/cleaner. etc, etc and we met him before here. We heard from Jess that altogether there were 107 people signed up and paid in advance. We then had a wonderful lunch of jacket potatoes, wraps, lots of salad and healthy fillings, including a vegetable chilli, tofu and other healthy stuff as well . We then were served with various puddings and custards and baked cookies and flapjacks too. When the doors opened at 1pm a bunch of people came in and the stewards welcomed them in and checked their online list of people booked. I and some other volunteers were runners showing people where to go and also taking stuff up and down the stairs.. The lifts are only used for the goods. Altogether it was a very enjoyable, friendly and successful afternoon.
