We had a lot of fun flyering last night, it was great to have Nathan back and bringing along Pia for their first session!

We met at the Rucstall Community Centre and flyered through the Black Dam area with flyers for the Tidy Town Throwdown which is happening on the 30th of July, BVA's Fun Fair on the 7th of August, Mindspace and GoodGym.

It was great having Yazid back and always great to see Tazmin!

Last night we did some flyering for local charities and groups, for the Brookvale Village Hall we were distributing their newsletter "The Blurb" and then also flyers from Neighbourcare, MindSpace and GoodGym.

It was a very nice night, with beautiful weather and some great chats with Evelyn and Tazmin managing to distribute to all the Blurbs that we were asked too.

We were back at one of our favourite place in Basingstoke this week!

The Dwelling Place is a amazing space providing secure longterm housing for 5 previously homeless people.

This was our second session there, the first session was a complete clear out of the back garden and with that and other work since the space has completely transformed into a blank slate.

Last nights session was the beginning of the rebuilding. We did a lot of carrying from tiles, wooden sleepers to half a tonne of sand. We finished this by laying out some of the sand in preparation for the tiles to go down.

All in all it was a good workout and very satisfying seeing everything that has transformed.

Five of us laced up to bring a bit of colour back to South Reading Community Centre, for a painting session. We were chuffed to welcome Daniel, the GoodGym leader from Basingstoke, who made the trip over to get painting with us. It's always a treat when the GoodGym family crosses postcodes. Even better: three brand new GoodGymers joined us for the first time.Louis , Rim and Afua. If a first session involving paintbrushes and good company doesn't hook you, nothing will. The centre is one of Reading's new Family Hubs, a welcoming space offering services to help give local children the best start in life. Our job was to spruce up the community rooms, and we gave the walls a fresh coat of eggshell that's made the room feel brighter. Now, the session listing did promise we "don't plan to make a mess." however a good bit of paint found its way onto the floor as well as the walls, but nothing a bit of white spirit and some elbow grease couldn't sort. We left the place clean, tidy, and looking all the better for a few hours of GoodGym graft.

Fancy joining us, we meet to run, walk, cycle and do good around Reading. Sign up and hear about our next session.
