This Thursday, Cambridge GoodGymers helped deliver donations to Cambridge City Foodbank through Greens Organise Cambridge's mutual aid initiative 🍞🥫🍫🧃

Catherine, Caroline, Scott and Christopher met for a bouncy warm-up and a jog along the river, working up a sweat in the evening heat. Eva joined the group to collect the donations and between them, the team loaded 5 crates of items into their backpacks! It was a rather weighted walk to the foodbank but all the donations were happily received, and the team felt very proud of their efforts 🏋

Practically skipping back with their bags now emptied, the group got some more steps in on the 2.5km walk across to Thirsty for this month's social. Nick joined and everyone raised a glass to all the good deeds achieved this month 🍻

Over the next few hours, the team relaxed with plenty of laughter, chats about superconductors and property law, tricky beer decisions, shared pet photos and some impressive multitasking by Eva with a beautiful embroidery piece 🪡

Apparently keen to get even more steps in, some of the gang succumbed to the temptation of Jack's and jogged into town for some late-night gelato. Double (double) tinies all round! 🍦

What a fabulous evening and a fantastic way to bring together members of the GoodGym Cambridge team. We're looking forward to next month's social already, and all the good deeds in between!

For today's community mission, 3 goodgymers headed to Arbury for a litter pick. Caroline, Eva and Harriet put on their layers and met up to help clean up a community courtyard with lots of shops. The biggest culprits were the cigarette butts, and the team used the fiddly job to practice their picker skills! 🚬🪏

During the task, the group rotated roles and took turns to either pick or hold the rubbish bag. Forgetting to bring the hoops that help, Caroline accidentally made bag-holding a more important role! Plenty of chats about upcoming holidays and homemade knitwear were an added bonus 🧣🧤

🙌 Town and Gown 10k, what a day!

It was Cambridge GoodGym's first time volunteering at an organised run, and it was brilliant fun. Working alongside the MDUK team, we were in charge of the finish line water station. The best place to be to congratulate runners and enjoy the great atmosphere 🎶

Having arrived early, we fuelled up on croissants and set to work laying out and filling over 1000 cups of water. We established a very efficient system working as a strong GoodGym team 💪

Later in the morning we mixed it up a bit and stacked up boards of cups to take out to runners, catering style. They were very grateful, and it was motivating speaking with runners who had just crossed the finish line.

Well done team and congratulations to all the runners 🎉
