We greeted two newcomers to GoodGym Newcastle tonight. Welcome to Elena, not new to GoodGym but joining us in Newcastle for the first time. We're very glad that you made it just in time! Another warm welcome to Joanna, completing her first GoodGym good deed tonight. Hopefully the first of many! We hope to see you in your red GoodGym t-shirt soon!
Tonight's task was to visit The Lighthouse Project to clear some weeds from their garden. The level of effort from everyone tonight was very impressive and at least eight large bags were filled with weeds. Task owner Jo and the other staff seemed pleased with our efforts!
We'll be back at The Lighthouse Project in two weeks. Next Monday sees us volunteering at Jesmond Library for the first time in seven years. Please join us if you can!

An inspiring youth and community space in the heart of Byker.
We provide a safe and welcoming space where young people and the community can flourish and live life to its fullest. We partner and work with organisations that support young people and the community. We are a place at the heart of the community where young people’s voices can be heard and provide a forum for such conversations. We help to reduce poverty and deprivation in the area.
