A group of 11 dedicated Goodgymers embarked on a double dose of good deeds tonight where we managed to help both Coventry Boys and Girls club and Clothing Coventry - AMAZING!

We were originally booked in for just the painting but then Clothing Coventry called for our support and you guys delivered once again!

We split into teams with Georgia, Jackie, Roopa, Nigel and Laura on Team CBGC and Lil, James, Chloe, Maddie, Greame and Dale on Team CC. Team CBGC didn’t have far to go with this being our usual meeting place, while Lil lead the warm up and run for Team CC to head over to Clothing Coventry.

Listening to some 80s tunes, Team CBGC painted a wall in the cafe a beautiful shade of white and finished off the edges and patchy bits in the toilets following our previous visit. Team CBGC had lots of fun sorting the piles of kids clothes into appropriate size categories.

Thank you so much for all your effort, you are brilliant!

Join us next week for yet more sorting at Clothing Coventry, we are giving them a bit of extra support at the moment to prepare them for the warehouse move which is coming soon.

Tonight a group of 11 GoodGymers embarked on an epic journey through mountains of clothes at Clothing Coventry. This legendary quest involved conquering unruly piles of apparel, all in the name of aiding those in need.

Most of us were sorting the bags into categories while the fashion police checked over the items to see what to keep and what to rag as there was just so much stuff! Together we conquered the clothing chaos and emerge victorious! With Joe bagging a Crombie Coat and Laura a string bag amidst the heaps of donated garments.

What a team, thank you everyone! Excellent news that Clothing Coventry have funding for 3 more years so we can support them on their ongoing mission to cloth those in need in Coventry.

Seven Goodgymers ran to Charterhouse in Coventry city centre to finish off pruning the lavender bushes in the car park.

Once we had located the tools in their secret location, we set to work giving the lavender a really good haircut so it will grow back well next summer and will hopefully be covered in bees once more. Once we had finished, we used a gentle sloping footpath for some pyramid hills before returning to our start point for a good stretch. Great job everyone!

Welcome to Roopa for her first group run with Coventry GoodGym and welcome back to Maddie for your first group run of the new academic year!

Lovely morning spent at the Springboard allotments with 5 enthusiastic Goodgymers and our furry friend Brandy.

So lovely to be back in this little haven for wildlife clearing up fallen apples from the trees and weeding the veg beds.

We ended the session with a cuppa some chocolates and a chat 💚

As always we never go home empty handed and took away apples, grapes and sunflower heads to dry out for seeds.

Great to meet you Roopa well done on your first deed!
