It was a bumper parkrun weekend for GoodGym Cambridge!

Caroline was on volunteering duties at Milton Country parkrun. For her 25th parkrun volunteering milestone, she gave the first timers welcome and helped with pack-down, as well as baking purple(ish) cakes to celebrate and share with the other volunteers 💜🫐

On the weekend of parkrun's one millionth event, the rest of the team attended at various locations to join the party. We also had: • Josie at Oxford University Parks • Harriet at Fulbourn Hospital • Chris at Muncaster Castle • Catherine at Conkers

Great work everyone, and here's to the next million! 🫶

This week's task saw us back at Jimmy's serving dinner to residents.

A delicious meal of lasagne had been prepared and was ready and waiting for us to serve. We had a few residents at the hatch when we arrived, so we needed to get going quickly. Setting up a serving line, Daiana was a pro on lasagne, Andrew took on garlic bread, Caroline mastered salad, and I was in charge of dessert. A streamlined operation! Everyone was delighted to see the famous carrot cake on the menu with a few even requesting seconds.

With residents fed, we turned our attention to clearing up. The highlight was definitely getting to cover the leftovers using the cling film machine. Caroline was particularly excited to take the lead on this job and had all plates wrapped in not time at all!

It had been a little while since we'd all seen each other, so we had a great time catching up and hearing about South American adventures 🇵🇪🇧🇷

It was a celebratory session with Caroline giving her black t-shirt its first outing. To celebrate her amazing 5️⃣0️⃣ good deeds, we took a trip to Jack's for gelato, the only way to mark the occasion 🍦

Having also received our personalised first aid kits, it really was quite the day!
