It was a lovely warm evening this week as 4 GoodGymer's ran to Catton Grove Community Centre.

We were greeted as always by Linda with a set of tools. Our task was to clip, snip & weed all areas around the front of the building, access path and entrances.

We quickly got down to the task and after an hour, job done! GoodGym strikes again. We can’t wait to return later in the year.

GoodGym Norwich is 9! That's a whopping 9194 Good Deeds in 9 years!!

Tonight 16 GoodGymers ran and cycled to Mousehold Heath for a conservation task followed by a celebratory picnic!

With the sun shining, Will lead us to the area of the heath in need of some work. We got stuck in pulling up bracken, to allow other species of plants to grow, particularly heather. This helps to improve pollination and biodiversity.

In an hour we had cleared the area of bracken, with the difference before and after clearly visible! Shout out to Tondi who attended his first session.

Then it was time to party! With hot & cold drinks, blankets full of food and homemade treats, we stayed until there was little left over. We also had a chance to say thanks to Steven for leading this great group for 8 & a half years!!

Team GoodGym Wipe The Floor With Oxfam!

We literally did! Tonight 8 GoodGymers ran or walked 2km to support Oxfam Magdalen St store.

The shop floor covers a large area and our task was to hoover, sweep, mop and scrape off any dirt... its fair to say we cleaned up!

The staff were really grateful, as this is difficult to achieve during the daytime when the shop is busy with customers. We even had time to dust the bookshelves and cd wracks.

All in all it was a satisfying evening leaving the store looking fresher, and feeling victorious!
