Well done to Nick, the sole volunteer from GoodGym Leicester, for supporting Melton Juniors as a marshal!

Today was Abbeypark 3rd Birthday we had Abul and Martin, It was Martins 125th at abbeypark at watermead we had Jeanette and Dave and at Braunstone we had Sheila and Amanda and at Melton we had Nick well done everyone 👏

Five dedicated GoodGymmers rolled up their sleeves and teamed up with the Canal & River Trust to give a section of Leicester’s towpath a much needed refresh. Prepared with life jackets, gloves, litter pickers, and plenty of enthusiasm, the group tackled everything from clearing weeds to litterpicking along the water’s edge. They even added a fresh coat of paint to brighten up tired looking sleepers along the path.

What was a neglected stretch is now a clean, welcoming space for walkers, runners, and cyclists to enjoy safely. The before and after photos really capture the impact a small but committed team can make in just a single session working with Canal and River Trust. Weldone Jen on leading another CRT task running smoothly and a big shout out to Hemankshi on your first session, fantastic effort! I do hope you enjoyed it and try another session soon.

Weldone everyone that took part!

Five GoodGymmers enjoyed the sunshine this weekend, supporting junior parkrun and helping the event run smoothly.

Solid 2.5-hour session by Nick and Ian

"We absolutely loaded up with B-inspired brochures, bags filled to the brim then upgraded our setup with a loaned shopping trolley. Not long after, we struck gold and found an abandoned massive trolley, made our day much more efficient.

We were on track to clear the whole run, but with about 200 houses left, B-inspired called it time to head home and wrap it up." Nick

Big weldone to Ian and Nick a top session all round.
