On a warm, but occasionally mildly moist, Monday evening, five GoodGymers headed to Shieldfield and Sandyford armed with hundreds of Ouseburn Festival leaflets. This continued the task we started last week in Heaton. Shieldfield and Sandyford don't have quite as many terraced streets for easy leaflet delivery, but we delivered almost as many leaflets as last week, on what was another successful evening.

Four GoodGymers set out from Stepney Bank Stables armed with a large pile on leaflets to promote the Ouseburn Festival, which is on July 4th and 5th year. We targeted the terraced street of Heaton, always a good area to deliver lots of leaflets quickly.

750 leaflets were dispatched through letterboxes. We'll be back next week doing more of the same in Shieldfield.

The rain held off just long enough for three GoodGymers to spread the word about ourselves via some leaflets. We ventured slightly further afield than usual, reaching Simonside Terrace and Rothbury Terrace in Heaton. Lots of leaflets were quickly dispatched through letterboxes on these long terraced streets.

More of the same next Monday as we promote the Ouseburn Festival.

On a positively tropical Monday evening in Newcastle, four GoodGymers set about making Shieldfield a lot more clean and tidy.

Welcome to Jasmine, choosing the warmest Monday of the year to make your GoodGym debut! A recruit as a result of our recent leafleting campaign. Scott, his hands splashed with all kinds of liquids over the years, came prepared with some thick gloves, while Nour's leather jacket might have been a little less practical given the heat!

As ever, there were some interesting and cordial interactions with passers by, many bin bags filled with litter and a difference made to the streets of Newcastle.

The weather was kind to us as embarked on a litter pick around the Heaton area of Newcastle. There was a GoodGymer tonight, welcome to Nour who came to the UK from Syria, via India. Welcome Nour and we hope to see you back with us again soon! Good selfie-taking skills too.

We visited South View West, which has got to be one of the most littered street in Newcastle. We chatted to a badminton-playing lady living on the street who picks up litter regularly. Please sign up and comment if you are reading this after taking one of our flyers! We had thanks from various passers by and someone shouting out of an upstairs window from one of the houses on the street!

We did get a little carried away and finished a bit later than planned but hopefully Heaton looks much tidier as a result!
