Four hardy Goodgymers jogged, walked and (might as well have) kayaked their way to the Russel Youth Club. On what, you may have gathered, was a wet night Peter, Lucy, Fran and Nancy went straight to work cutting back overgrown plants at the side of the Youth Club. It was great to see the difference we’ve made in the two visits and it should really benefit all who use this Youth Club

Nottingham's third session saw a fab 14 of us head to The Meadows Foodbank based at Bridgeway Hall Methodist Centre.

Abigail lead a jog around the area for some of the group who arrived early, supported by Peter, while the rest of us ran, cycled and walked there independently.

On arrival, we were greeted by Mark from the foodbank who gave us an insight into how it operates and the important role it plays in the local community. We then divided up into smaller teams to tackle various tasks that needed doing - scrubbing some metal shelves, moving crates of food from upstairs to the main store downstairs, packing bags of food and moving some freezers and other furniture around the building.

It felt like we managed to get a lot done in an hour and we all felt like we’d had a good workout! We hope to revisit The Meadows Foodbank again in future when they need our help again.

We welcomed several first timers to this session and we look forward to seeing everyone again as GoodGym Nottingham continues to grow.
