Two GoodGymers turned out for volunteering duties at Peckham Rye junior parkrun, helping the event run smoothly from start to finish. One marshalled the course, another tail walked to make sure no junior was left behind, and together they went the extra mile so local youngsters could enjoy a safe and supportive run.

No PBs needed when you're powering a community event. Just plenty of cheer, volunteer spirit, and another run-derful morning of giving back the GoodGym way! 👏💚🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

I took my volunteering one step further this weekend by parkwalking at South Norwood parkrun. It turned out to be a lovely way to spend a couple of hours outdoors, enjoying the fresh air, supporting fellow parkrunners and proving that sometimes the best pace is a GoodGym pace. I was happy to go the extra mile without actually going the extra mile!

After helping to keep everyone on the right track, I walked away with a smile and headed to the park café, which is also run by volunteers, to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was the perfect opportunity to pause for applause, put my feet up and enjoy some well-earned cake.

From parkwalk to park cake, the morning really stepped up. It was a reminder that volunteering is all about putting your best foot forward, helping your community one step at a time, and occasionally following the well-trodden path to tea, cake and good company. A truly walk-tastic way to spend a Saturday!

Three regular GoodGymers once again put their best foot forward at VGCC's Friday foodbank session. From 12pm to 2pm we were running on kindness, helping local residents pick up fresh, healthy produce and a few smiles along the way.

The team hit the ground running, kept things moving at a good pace, and then went the extra mile by staying behind for the pack-down and clear-up. There was plenty of squash court action with the veg, some serious bean-there-done-that experience, and enough community spirit to keep us all well fuelled.

Another run-derful afternoon proving that when GoodGymers step up, everyone wins.

Finish line verdict: No medals, no PBs, just plenty of food for thought and miles of smiles. 💚🏃‍♀️🥕🏃‍♂️🍎

The day went well. There was enough for the clients, even with over 100 each, going home with full bags.
