At GoodGym we are celebrating This Girl Can's Move10 campaign - keeping things simple. 10 minutes of movement, 10 times over a month, in whatever way works for you.
"We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever."
It was our last Monday at Mousehold of the year, just before it gets too dark - but don't worry we're heading back for a few Saturday sessions if you missed out!
Always a favourite task - with 19 GoodGymers attending, Will lead us all to the area needing work. Pulling braken to allow other plant species to grow, and carrying piles across the heath.
We spread out into 3 areas, it was a very social evening and rewarding to see how much of difference it made!
Shout outs to Gemma, Rachel and Lizzie all completing their first Good Deed!
Will kindly treated us to some tasty snacks, which was a lovely way to finish the evening as the night drew in.
Dig out those headtorches for next week folks!

16 Goodgymers attended our Monday session to support our local warden Will, to care for Mousehold Heath, an important local habitat.
Will explained to the group the extent of a recent wild fire and all they were doing to reduce local fire risks.
We split into a 3 groups; one moving a drying pile of old bracken, one group bracken pulling, and one removing pockets of gorse and stumps to support fire engine access routes.
A very warm welcome to Eve and well done for joining your first GoodGym session.

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!!
