Tonight 11 GoodGymer's ran 2km to Oxfam Magdalen Street store.

High 5's to Francesca who attended her first session!

It was our first visit to this store for 6 years, and store manager Ross still remembered our last visit!

The tasks was going through a large backlog of clothes donations, sorting out the resell-able quality items from the rags (cheap, worn or smelly!).

'Rag' bags are collected and recycled, and the 'keep' items are then priced up and taken to the shop floor below.

Amoungst my favourites was a vintage looking Welsh rugby shirt. Alina had her eye on a few nice items which she was able to purchase!

After 1 hour many many bags had been emptied, sorted and redistributed. Well done team. It was a great evening and we hope to return in the future!

Tonight 7 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 5km to Greenfields Community Centre.

This venue is used by many local groups including a vital Baby Bank hub.

We were tasked with painting one of the rooms regularly used by the Baby Bank to donate much needed equipment & clothing to local families.

The room had long been a drab yellow colour, but within 1 hour it had a new frosted look (a bright shade of grey called 'Frosted Steel').

Shout out to Emily who attended her first session!

And happy 10th Birthday to Goodgym Lewisham group (where I attended their first session 10 years ago today)!

Today 14 GoodGymers headed to Mousehold Heath for some conservation work improving the biodiversity in this area.

Shout Outs to Piers attending his first task, and Sarah for completing her 50th Good Deed.

We were clearing the slopes on St James Hill of a Broom plant, similar to gorse. Thus opening up more sledging routes in this popular spot on snow days!

After an hour the area had been cleared and the piles of shrub were carried up the hill and out the way.

We refreshed ourselves with hot drinks and biscuits by the coffee van. Well done team!
