Team GoodGym Wipe The Floor With Oxfam!

We literally did! Tonight 8 GoodGymers ran or walked 2km to support Oxfam Magdalen St store.

The shop floor covers a large area and our task was to hoover, sweep, mop and scrape off any dirt... its fair to say we cleaned up!

The staff were really grateful, as this is difficult to achieve during the daytime when the shop is busy with customers. We even had time to dust the bookshelves and cd wracks.

All in all it was a satisfying evening leaving the store looking fresher, and feeling victorious!

Tonight 6 GoodGymer's ran, walked or cycled to Greenfields Community Centre, home of Baby Bank Norfolk.

Our task was to help tidy up the outdoor perimeter that had become overgrown with thorny weeds. We have attended similar tasks at this venue over the years, and tonight was another success!

In just over an hour we had cleared the entire area, by chopping it down and bagging up the green waste, ready to be collected for recycling.

Shout out Jen who attend her first task! Despite the prickly thorns it was a satisfying task.

Thanks to Sarah for the pun, name checking our very own Rose!

On a bright Saturday morning, 6 GoodGymer's joined the Friends of Waterloo Park for a bit of shoveling.

Waterloo Park is an awarded Green Flag Park. This means it must maintain high quality standards, including excellent environmental management, biodiversity, and community involvement.

Every week, the work in the park collects large amounts of green waste that is left to dry out and compost. And today we were asked to shovel the branches and soil from the compost boxes into piles, which will be collected by the council for further recycling.

Together the 'Friends' and GoodGymer's completed the task within an hour, while observing snails, moths and other bugs.

We finished with a well earned brew and biscuits!
