Today Narendra, Hannah and Jonny went to a flat in Erdington to paint the living room walls of a vulnerable man, who struggled to do it himself.

Roger was very appreciative of our efforts and told us lots of stories during our visit.

We did one big coat, so will be back in 10 days to do the 2nd coat.

Once done, next door at the retirement homes we had the bonus of a little fete, Narendra had ago at a tombola for the first time and we even won a prize!

After all that we headed back, Jonny taking in a run around Witton Lakes on the way home.

Ok that's an awful pun. Prizes for a better one 😅

We had a lovely group of 5 tonight taking on the Rea Valley path on a 4km plog. It was great being joined by Sophie & Narendra as it had been a while since we caught up! After the litter pick, where we filled a big bag of rubbish, the fab five headed to the British Oak where Laura asked them to put the (Cricket) World Cup on! It turned out Narendra had been to see India v Pakistan and I'm hopefully going tomorrow to see Pakistan take on South Africa. Great chats and a good time spent with one another 🏏👏❤️

We had a fab team of five coming together to join Tina for the session at St. Martin's Church to sort through their clothing donations store. The staff use this to support local people experiencing challenges such as homelessness, by providing helpful toiletries, a range of clothing and blankets.

It was great to be asked back and help organise key items after lots of recent donations had really filled up the storage space. We boxed up all clothing by size then set aside surplus items and bagged them up for local charity shops.

Our many hands made light work and we were soon back in the clothing store packing in the labelled crates in neat rows. All in all, fab teamwork, great impact and as always, such a welcoming environment for a Goodgym session!

This morning Narendra joined the Friends of Perry Common Meadow for their monthly litter pick.

It was a lovely morning with lots of litter picked and then Narendra ran a nice 2k in the sunshine :)
