Another dry January evening welcomed over 20 GoodGymmers for the biggest group run for a while, including Mike joining us for the first time and all three of last week's newcomers returned!

It was optional fancy dress for the run, see who you can spot in the photos, but considered very normal in Bristol.

Xanne welcomed us to Emmaus with news that they're currently van-less so there was space to move and to move things, very excitingly.

Let the sofa-shifting, mattress-moving and bed-breaking commence!

Huge progress was made although headgear was hard to come by, so the end photo shows more variation of item than usual, if it can ever be considered usual?

Another run back and some stretching and chatting - it almost felt normal.

This task supported
Emmaus Bristol
We believe that people who are homeless and socially excluded have something to offer. We encourage people to use their skills to change themselves – and change the world.

We know that overcoming homelessness often means more than a roof over your head. That’s why we support people to work their way out of homelessness, providing meaningful work as well as a stable home for as long as someone needs it.
