Another Sunday and another marshaling role at Mowbray Park for Junior Parkrun.

Today had a bonus good deed with an opportunity to donate pre loved activewear and trainers to Active Sunderland’s Kit Out campaign.

A great task as usual, lovely to cheer the kids on to a fab achievement.

On a pleasant Saturday morning, three GoodGymers helped Newcastle Parks and Allotments with some weeding in Elswick Park, just managing to get finished before a little rain shower.

The before and after photographs tell their own story. The park rangers were particularly happy that the stone circle at the top of the steps was cleared of weeds.

Cups of tea were drunk before the park rangers moved onto their next task at Nunsmoor Park.

Please come and join us on Monday as we help prepare Stepney Bank Stables for the Ouseburn Festival.

GoodGym had their first visit to One Strawberry Soup at One Strawberry Lane, including getting involved in a magic card trick.

Some good conversations were had with organisations who were also there.
