Reading Report written by Jenni H
With temperatures soaring to 32 degrees in Reading today, our five goodgymers were very glad that we had a low energy, walking based task to complete!
Superstar Sam had done a 5km run before, and ran to join us along the way, extra kudos for her! Great to see Jacqui again after she came to GoodGym Reading's first ever Monday task!
With 200 leaflets to deliver for Thames Hospice Superstore, this week we were distributing them around some of the houses just outside Reading town centre.
We got our steps in going up and down paths to do our posting and we soon managed to get through our stacks of leaflets!

Sam, Jenni and Chris helped out at Reading Repair Cafe's monthly drop in session. The repair cafe helps people to repair their broken items, from sewing, to soldering!
Sam and Jenni were on the welcoming desk, getting people's items in the repair queue, while Chris got to work on fixing a vacuum cleaner he'd brought in. Sam had also brought a hairdryer and a blender in and was able to repair both!
Sion also joined us and helped out with some electrical testing of a carpet cleaner, with everyone learning how to PAT test electronic items too!
Throughout the afternoon, there was no end to people coming in with items and most of them were able to be repaired!
With recording everything that had come in, we were able to help save 46kg of items from being thrown away, reducing 202kg of CO2 emissions! Not bad for an afternoon of learning and helping!

Despite the grey skies and the thick mud underfoot, this week's Prospect Parkrun brought together a fantastic group of parkrunners, volunteers, and supporters. The course was certainly on the slippery side, but that didn’t deter us for our Reading GoodGym launch!
Thank you to Prospect Parkrun for giving us a special shout out at the start of the event, and to Oxford GoodGym for coming out in force with us in our red t-shirts!
Even the trail shoes weren't quite enough today, and it was an achievement to stay upright the whole way round! Our leaflet stack was significantly depleted with lots of people interested in finding out more about GoodGym.
A much needed team coffee at the park cafe was the perfect way to warm up and reflect on the morning for runners and marshals alike.
A big thank you to all the Parkrun volunteers as always for putting on a great event! And remember, if you're coming to Prospect Parkrun before the summer, don't wear white!

Sam earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Sam completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Sam was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

GoodGym Reading have now completed their first community mission 🥳
Five goodgymers met on a cold evening to do a litterpick around Reading town centre. Armed with bags and litter pickers kindly brought by Anwen, they set off to fill their bags. It wasn't long until Jacqui found our first pick of some cans lurking on the pavement!
With a wandering loop around the streets, we talked about what tasks we will be looking to do in future as we filled up the bags.
Sam and Sion joined us for the last leg after their run and helped us fill the bags!
With plenty of rubbish collected between us, (including several items of clothing?!) we tied up the bags and decided to warm up in Siren bar and continue our chat about what we'll do next!
You'll find us on 8th Feb at Prospect parkrun, sign up here! https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/prospect-parkrun-6bbe246e-46ff-4cf9-9632-437f0736ccb8
