Lots & Lots of Local Litter

Saturday 16th November

Written by Laura

Today two neighbours headed in seperate directions in Seacroft to try & clean up the area. We collected a full bag each & felt as though we barely scratched the surface of the awful litter problem in the area. There's more to be done so we'll head out again soon. Welcome to GoodGym Bronwen :)

A Rainbow of Chaos!

Wednesday 16th October

Written by Laura

Tonight we had a last minute change of plan as the volunteers at Bedford Fields were both sick. We decided to have a run and a litter pick instead. Helen sprung into action and planned a running route and I walked with some members down to Burley Park. We picked & chatted all the way back to Heart.

Jubz was very kind & walked Irene back to her bike, thanks Jubz! Thanks also to Helen for her organisation skills tonight! This was her 165th good deed for GoodGym Leeds...wow!

Welcome to GoodGym Fay & welcome back to Dilraj. We hope you'll join us again soon.

Strava Not Strata!

Wednesday 27th March

Written by Laura

It's been an eventful day at GoodGym Leeds. Today, Helen and Adam generously gave up their time to head to the studio at Yorkshire Voices to do a live segment on the benefits of exercise. They did a great job explaining what we do at GoodGym, well done guys.

Tonight we met at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre and had a 4.25Km run around Headingley. We then did a further promotional interview for Yorkshire Voices, where I accidentally talked about the benefits of the Strata app & their partnership with GoodGym. Rachael then politely told me I'd said Strata not Strava! (Strata are actually the builders I bought my house from)! Luckily, the filmmakers can edit that out & Rachael then talked about Strava the fitness app :)

The footage will be shared soon!

We finished off with a Headingley litter pick.

Well done everyone, it was a bit different today!

Running a Little Latte

Saturday 2nd March

Written by Laura

This morning 9 GoodGymers braved the bad weather to do Parkrun and a litterpick.

After joining the 795th Woodhouse Moor parkrun, we went for coffee and pastry at Coffee on the Crescent and then hit the streets for a 45 minute litter pick. The streets of Headingley were pretty bad litter wise so we got 8 full bags!

Welcome to Kirsty who attended her first session, it was great to meet you.

Well done to everyone else :)

Litter Things Make a Big Difference

Wednesday 7th February

Written by Laura

Tonight 9 GoodGymers braved the cold temperatures to go out and help our local community.

One group led by Helen ran the streets of Headingley/Kirkstall & finished delivering the OWLS leaflets we started last week.

I led another group to do a local litter pick & we managed to get 4 bags full. Uzair & Ele nearly turned GoodGym into Fight Club as they got rather competitive with each other when picking!!

It was really nice to get together at the end to have a drink in the Heart bar. We should do that more often!

Welcome to newcomers Ele & Annie, it was great to meet you guys :)
