It might be a rainy day, but that didn't stop 17 GoodGymer's arriving at Norwich Foodbank.

Norwich foodbank supports local individuals and families through the provision of emergency food supplies. Nutritionally balanced emergency foodboxes can cover an individual or family’s basic needs for 72 hours: the critical time gap before other support services kick in.

Tonight there were a range of tasks. - Unpacking and organising cartons of milk, hot dogs & 'Savers' tomatoes into crakes. - Labelling and moving crates around the warehouse. - Checking dates and weighing items ready to be packed into food parcels.

Always a popular task, and great to see the 'before' and 'after' amounts achieved in an hour! Shout out to Robert for completing his first GoodGym session!

Good news - we will be returning again next month for more warehouse Jenga.

Tonight we headed to the beautiful Marlpit Community Garden. 9 GoodGymer's ran, walked or cycled along the traffic free Marriotts Way.

The large volunteer-led community garden, with orchard and allotments, had recently been mowed. So we began raking up the dried grass into large piles that will be used as mulch for the fruit trees. Its amazing what we can do in an hour! There was also time to transport flatpacked cardboard to the far end of the site using wheelbarrows.

Well done to first timers, Jordan, Ben and Andy. Hopefully we will be back at this lovely venue in the near future.

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 9 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to support St Matthew's Church. It was our first visit here, and the route included a jog up Gas Hill!

Once we arrived Reverend Patrick showed us the tools and asked if there were any 'Happy choppers'? Which at GoodGym the answer is always yes!

He directed us to the overgrown areas of the car park, and the borders in front of the church, and we got to work clearing weeds and brambles so that the entrance signs could be seen more clearly.

Also inside the church an Easter display needed dismantling, including a number of large stones to be carrier back into the garden. In no time at all, both tasks were completed with a sense of satisfaction comparing the before and after photos... We were also offered refreshments of tea & biscuits!

Shout outs to Francesca for completing her 10th task, and Emily reaching 100 Good Deeds!! Marvelous work everyone.

Tonight 9 GoodGymer's ran 6km to support Norwich Foodbank.

We were sorting through food donations from Norwich City FC, unpacking boxes, filling up crates, labeling and arranging in piles in the warehouse.

Not put off by the cold weather, tonight was in fact Bill's 250th Good Deed! Well done on reaching this milestone!

The task was swiftly completed in 45 mins, and all boxes were empty which was a satisfying finish!
