Back again for round two of Goodgymers Luton postal service with flyers for the High Town Christmas Fair this coming weekend. This afternoon was wonderfully sunny but chilly so the team worked at a brisk pace to keep fingers and toes warm.

Yasin and Gill worked to the right hand side of the streets and Musa and Tigger took the left. The upcoming festival information distributed up the hills and down and around the town.

Today, the Friends of Leagrave Park held their monthly community litterpick. 6 of Luton GoodGym's finest braved the chilly morning but enjoyed the glorious sunshine 🌞 as they got stuck in to the task. There were plenty of beautiful colours amongst the leaves at the bottom of of the tree's which confused us once or twice as it was easy to mistake them for litter. It's always a pleasure to see the wildlife in the park, and we got a wonderful sight of a little egret that took to the sky before we could snap it. The team gathered 8 bags of rubbish and had a really fun morning. Awesome effort team

Two GoodGymers started the weekend with a Friday evening task at The Greenhouse. Musa made his way up the Hill-That-Kills to get to Stopsley while Gill decided to rely on 4 wheels and an engine to get there. We were met by Cathy from the Courtney Foundation. Gill and Cathy were delighted to get reacquainted having done lots of volunteering together during lockdown for Baby Bank and All Saints Clothing Bank. Cathy’s current project is a pre-loved clothing bank for children. She’d been inundated with bags and bags of donated clothes recently and wanted our help to sort it out . We gradually worked our way through the bags, sorting the clothes into different sizes, ensuring only items of a reasonable quality were kept. We got through all the bags in record time, then loaded up Cathy’s car before heading for home.

Twas four weeks before Christmas and while people ate dinners, letterboxes were flapping thanks to Goodgymers

The leaflets were posted through doors with care inviting all residents to the Christmas Fair

By the end of the night Goodgymers were in bed with dreams of good deeds playing out in their head
