Sunny Sunday Fun
Sunday 10th October 2021
Written by Rachael (GoodGym Barnsley)
It's been a beautiful sunny Sunday for mid-October and I made sure to soak up as much as I could whilst out in Kendray today. Delivering leaflets for SPSAS helps to inform families about their services and potentially help a family in need of these services. Doing what we can do to help out in Barnsley ☀

This week we went back to Kendray to continue delivering leaflets for SPSAS. We met at the local park and ran round together, before teaming up to get the leaflets through the letterboxes of the local houses. We even met a nice chap enquiring about the services and we had a chat with him about them. A run back uphill to our starting point finished off the morning nicely! 🏃♀️💨

This week we went out on behalf of [SPSAS]https://singleparentssupportandadviceservices.co.uk/ to help deliver some leaflets, to inform the local residents about the services that SPSAS can provide.
We also had good fun playing Beat the Street at the same time and earned lots of points for the GG Barnsley team! If you register for a card/fob in Barnsley, be sure to join the GoodGym Barnsley team via the website.
An Intro to SPSAS
Wednesday 7th April 2021
Written by Rachael (GoodGym Barnsley)
Our first task as a group for many months this evening was with SPSAS, who help, advise and support single / lone parents in Barnsley by giving them access to support and services they normally wouldn't have access to for various reasons.
The idea for this evening's task was to help put together the essential food parcels that go out every day to nearly 100 different families in need in Barnsley. However - the food supply was arriving a little later than we had expected so instead we spent the time getting to know the ladies at SPSAS, and learning a lot about what they do. We did get a few jobs divided up between us as well, such as returning crates to the different supermarkets in Barnsley, taking leaflets for a leaflet drop, and donating some sandwiches to the nearby homeless drop-in service.
A huge congratulations to Kim for her 200th GoodGym good deed, thanks for coming along to Barnsley. Also a big welcome to new member Alice, it's great to have you join us.
