Goodgymmers Nick, Dawn, and Sarah made the most of a bright, sunny morning with another productive session of bramble bashing at one of our fave's Saffron Acres.

The team tackled the heaps of brambles with enthusiasm, helping to tidy up the area for new composting pen.

While working hard, there was plenty of chatter and laughter, making the session as social as it was productive.

To top things off, the team left with a healthy haul of apples, carefully selected to avoid the ones already claimed by some tiny creatures!

Another rewarding morning spent doing good, getting active, and enjoying the sunshine.

4 goodgymmers helped out with junior parkrun enabling kids and their well trained adults to take part

This week parkrun announced it had its 1 millionth volunteer and today 5 of them volunteered in leicester Martin at abbeypark Jeanette and Katy at watermead and Jimmy and Ian at Braunstone well done all.

A brilliant effort this morning for three Goodgymmers Nick, Mick and jimmy joined Rich from Canal And River Trust got stuck into a litterpick and general tidy-up along the canal. Huge well done to all of them making the session happen after a tense moment thinking we weren't going to make the minimum numbers. Shout out to Mick who came along for his very first Good Deed, great to have you with us, and hope you are back for more.

With gloves, life jackets on and bags at the ready, they tackled everything from stray cans and footballs to pesky plastics, giving the canal path a well deserved spruce up. It’s amazing what a difference a small team can make in just a short time!
