A great turnout tonight saw 19 lovely people get together in Bournemouth wanting to do good and feel good as a result!

We had lots of lovely new faces Seun and Sophie came along to their first group run and we hope they come to many more. They did a great job making up food parcels for families.

We also welcomed back Chloe who brought her friend along Cassandre, who is visiting from France. They were also part of the food parcel team, along with Georgie who was also down for her first group run after often having it clash with her work. Hope you guys enjoyed it and will come back again soon.

Clarice was a long time follower and was finally able to come along and be a doer and show off her GoodGym t-shirt! You all did great and mixed in so well with the regulars!

We took a slightly scenic route to the Foodbank to get in a couple of hills and photo opportunities too. Along the overcliff with wide ranging views of the coastline...pretty special place we live in. After a couple of pit stops to allow the group to gather together again we set off in a large blur of red....probably scaring a lot of people...but we did look very impressive too!

When we arrived Alex let us know that we had a few jobs to take care of. Sophie, Seun, Georgie, John, Sarah, Chloe, Cassandre and Fredrika were looking after the food parcels. These are made up for single people and up to families of 5. Meal combinations to last them around 4 days or so. The gang managed to make up 9 of them! Awesome work! The parcels will go out tomorrow to families in crisis.

Another team of Chris, Caprice, Grace, Claire, Daryl, Phil and Sarah were tasked with shifting boxes full of food ready to be collected. After they were done with their job...which they obviously finished quickly because they are super hard working...they helped Mark, Andrea, Clarice, Jodie and myself break down cardboard boxes ready to be taken to recycling and also sorted through some more food donations too.

After a 35 minute blitz the gang managed to finish off all their jobs and even have time to pose on stage like true superstars!

We went the more direct route home and some still had enough energy in the tank to sprint up the the steep hill to the meeting location at Flirt Cafe! After a stretch and a team talk we all set off home...

Great work everyone!!! Alex loves you guys and is always super grateful for all that you do!

Thank you Chris for backmarking, great to see you again! Hope you're travels to South America are epic!! Look forward to hearing about it when you're back!

Next week we are helping out a charity called Creative Kids, move from one unit to another. Come along!

We had the most amazing weather for one of our favourite GoodGym tasks, running to the Foodbank to help with donations and making up parcels. This week we had a few different jobs too....but first...

We welcomed Chloe with open arms. She is over from Paris for 3 months looking to improve her English...which is very good....and her running is just as impressive! Welcome, and we hope to see you next week!

It was also extra nice to have Lydia back with us, I'm sure it's nice for you to just be able to run and not have to lead group runs! We hope you can squeeze us in again soon!

Fredrika was also brave enough to join us after missing out last week with shin splints....she managed just fine...and with a massive backpack too! Fingers crossed you can stay healthy and join us again next week!

This evening Chloe, David and Claire raised their hands to make up Easter parcels for familiies next week. They managed to make up 34 boxes of easter eggs and other treats for families with children. Nice for them to get some extra treats next week!

Lydia, Caprice, Daryl and Jenni were tasked with sorting through boxes of food donations like we usually do, but they managed to finish those and move onto sorting through easter egg donations too! Talk about eggcellent!

Sarah took Fredrika under her wing for the first food parcel and soon they were racing Neil and I to finish of 5 boxes for single people to families of up to 4 people. We managed to get a lot done in only 30 minutes! The way back saw the gang pick up the pace a little to get back in time for closing at Flirt Cafe...Brilliant work everyone! Hope nobody is too sore in the morning!

Next week we are getting together for a beer and some food after the group run....or you can come along for a soft drink....or just a beer...or just some food...you get it right??

See you next week!
