10 amazing Goodgymers helped at Age UK Leicester by sorting, sizing, tagging and hanging bags of donated clothes to be ready for the shop floor. Everyone got stuck in with a few pro’s among the group who are very familiar with the task, especially Lindsay, Jimmy and Stu who visited last week!

Our help was much appreciated by the Staff at Age UK especially Abby who kept us stocked up with clothes to sort, we filled 4 rails today! They were also very grateful for the donations Sarah, Dawn and Lynn brought along after their New Year sorting.

Great to see Samir has a new bike, Jimmy’s first question was his concern about its safety (reminding me of the times Jimmy used to lock my bike with his beeping alarm). I did wish that Stu had bought a new jacket, it really suited him!

Shout out to Lindsay and Lynn who want to take up the task force training to keep Leicester going from strength to strength with more the merrier Task force members.

Fantastic efforts everyone and great to see so many familiar faces keep up the great work and have a lovely weekend.

GoodGymers across the borough had a new year sort-out, finding things they no longer wanted or needed to find a new home.

Clothes, books, and inexplicably a pair of potato mashers were all bagged up ready to donate to nearby charity shops - a win-win scenario!

6 Goodgymmers delivered the Braunstone Alert to support B-inspired Foodbank, a regular activity we have done for 2 years now.

Today was a new round we haven’t completed before, luckily our newest member Mohamed had already had his map reading skills tested by the GoodGym website sending him to a different start location. Weldone Mohamed coming along to your first session!

We split into 2 teams to go around the block, a lot of the first road were flats with lots of stairs and corridors, we stuck close together delivering where we could.

Filling up on our daily steps we walked back to B-inspired to have a little Christmas social with amazing cake Dawn had made for the group and also Sarah’s home baked mince pies.

Dawns cake went down a treat with hot drinks and a good catch up and laugh about Jimmy and his missing gloves after playing walking football. Keep active all and see you again soon!
