Heaton Picks With Pride

Monday 21st July

Written by Newcastle runner

A satisfying Monday evening was spent picking litter around Heaton, after Heaton Pride at the weekend. It wasn't just GoodGymers tonight, there were people from Newcastle City Council and some Heaton Pride volunteers too.

We joined some of the people involved with Heaton Pride for a quick drink afterwards in The Last Resort, a small pub on Heaton Road.

Heaton Pride Hat-trick

Thursday 17th July

Written by Aimee (she/her)

Two GoodGymers leafleted for Heaton Pride in Heaton. This was our third task leafleting for Heaton Pride and the last of our leaflets. We need to get them out sharpish before the first event at 8pm that evening!

Luckily the streets in Heaton are long terraces so we managed to get hundreds of leaflets delivered within an hour allowing us to post a total of around 1,500 this week!

Anji completed three good deeds in one! As well as delivering hundreds of leaflets she also rang a doorbell to tell a women she had left her house keys in the front door and helped direct me out of where I was parked after as I ended up a bit blocked in!

If you are around this weekend check out Heaton Pride! We are also doing a litter pick to help tidy up after the event on Monday with a cheeky social after at the tipsy toad.

Heat-on Up With Pride

Monday 14th July

Written by Newcastle runner

The rain stopped just in time for four GoodGymers to head out towards Heaton from Stepney Bank Stables, armed with many hundreds of Heaton Pride leaflets, without getting wet.

The terraced streets of Heaton are perfect for delivering lots of leaflets quickly. The best part of 1,000 leaflets were delivered in an hour.

Please join Aimee to complete the job on Thursday.
