Foodbank cleaning
Tuesday 3rd February
Written by Louise (She/her)
4 GoodGymers met one wet and chilly Tuesday evening to clean the Foodbank.
The outdoor weather was soon forgotten though as we warmed up working together to sweep the huge warehouse floor.
Keely and Henry then beautified the admin and front of house areas, cleaning surfaces and vacuuming the carpet while Louise and Mzi got to work with the mops.
We'll be back again first Tuesday in March!

Well done everyone for supporting nature this weekend. Remember to upload your findings to the RSPB website, when you get a moment. There's a live leaderboard; with two million birds recorded so far..... what will be the final tally?! Full results will be published in a few months time. Thank you for getting involved, I hope you enjoyed your birdwatching.

A chilly evening in Colchester was brightened up by some litter picking action around the streets and past the college by six goodgymers. We received some thank you's from passers by, chatted about all kinds of things, and admired the local runners doing reps up the hill. This weekend, whilst drinking tea and eating biscuits indoors - do an hour's birdwatch for the RSPB. Sign up to the task on the website - the perfect goodgym mission!!
Summer Sweeping

On a cold wet January evening 1 GoodGymer turned up to help clean the FoodBank. It felt a daunting task, but with a "Summer Party" playlist (Spotify's suggestion) an hour of sweeping and spot cleaning with the mop passed very quickly. Many thanks to Ricky Martin, Lou Bega and Bananarama for all the motivation!
We're back at the FoodBank first Tuesday of February, hopefully with a bigger team, so we can make sure we clean the whole place to make it nicer for all those hero's who look after those in need each day.

Ding Dong Merrily on High! Five GoodGymers decked the Colchester Borough Homes with boughs of holly through some festive singing. The residents enjoyed joining in, one gentleman even getting involved on his harmonica!
It certainly wasn't a silent night but there were lots of Jingle bells, plus hot chocolate and mince pies!
Special thanks to Emilyfor her musical prowess!
We Wish you a Merry Christmas!
Love GoodGym Colchester xx
