Five GoodGymers headed out from One Strawberry Lane to the Teams area of Gateshead to deliver leaflets on behalf of Big Local Gateshead, to promote their Grand Opening on October 24th. After collecting the leaflets from the community centre, we set to work in the darkness.

We've delivered leaflets in this area before, for both Big Local Gateshead and Stomping Grounds NE. The layout of the streets is a little unusual, more so in the dark, but we made a reasonable dent in the pile of leaflets. We'll be back next Monday to finish the job, please come and join is if you can!

We had Aimee completing her 399th good deed tonight, so a nice round number milestone is imminent. Richard also completed 100 good deeds yesterday. On the other end of the scale, welcome once again to enthusiastic new GoodGymer Libby, completing a hattrick of good deeds. No imminent milestones for Louise or Scott, but it's always great to have two such seasoned leaflet deliverers joining us.

I volunteered as on the the timers today at Whitley bay junior parkrun. We had a school take over which mean big numbers and lot of new young runners.

Only picture I took was of the sea but getting to see the sea it one of the reasons I love volunteering at a costal junior parkrun!

It's always magical watching the enthusiasm of the children at parkrun on a Sunday morning and today there was an added feeling of mysterious atmosphere in the park with the heavy mist. It didn't dampen the enthusiasm though and it felt like a high number of runners completed the course in super quick time!

Two GoodGymers volunteered at Mowbray Park junior parkrun, one run directing and one tail walking, as the event broke its attendance record at the 106th event. It was a lovely morning with a very positive atmosphere.

Please come and join us tomorrow night as we deliver flyers for Big Local Gateshead.

On a surprisingly mild Monday night, three GoodGymers delivered around 200 leaflets on behalf of Shieldfield Grows, after a short run from Stepney Bank Stables to Shieldfield.

Gloves were dispensed with pretty quickly as Richard, Louise and Scott briskly zigzagged from street to street.

Next thing on the GoodGym Newcastle agenda is some junior parkrun volunteering at Whitley Bay junior parkrun. Sign up to join Aimee on Sunday!

Three GoodGymers set off on a pleasant Monday evening to finish the litter picking job around Croft Stairs, a set of steps leading to Manor Chare and the Quayside beyond, started a couple of weeks ago. There was so much litter on our previous litter pick that there wasn't time to collect it all.

Today's litter of choice seemed to be large glass bottles, some of them broken. Whether it was wine, Prosecco or vodka, people had decided to discard their empty bottles all over the streets of Newcastle. We managed to fill 13 bags with litter, making a real difference to how the area looks.

Welcome again to Libby, on her second good deed, putting her dog selfie skills to good use when taking one of the photographs for this report. Seasoned litter picker Scott won the award for most litter collected, his second bag being filled in close to record time.
