On a muggy Sheffield eve the GG SHF team assembled at The Showroom Cinema for another group run.

It was great to welcome Shahram who joined us fresh from the Future Leaders session in Manchester and was full of enthusiasm on his first GG SHF run! We hope to see more of you Shahram.

After quick intros we headed off to meet Karen of Pitsmoor Pickers and get tooled up!

I think our numbers were a shock to Karen and we even had too many people for the pickers she had so some of us got gloved up and picked up the bigger bits.

Cans were collected for future weighing in and everything else was bagged up and/or moved to a nearby public bin ready for collection by the council after Karen had reported it to them.

Adrian even found a knife which was carefully moved and reported to Police by Karen and has now been collected by Police to be destroyed.

It was a good haul and a number of us headed into The Showroom for drinks and bites to eat before heading home.

A good job by all and thanks to everyone for coming out.

Hope to see you all on the next one. Happy running :)

We brought a real CAN do attitude to our task last night.

It was an uphill journey with some real unique city sites along the way!

On a hot and humid Sheffield eve some sensible GG folk decided to meet us at the task due to the hills, heat, injury or other and the rest of us slogged it up the hill from The Showroom to Arbourthorne primary school to meet Angela at this fantastic garden space used at the school.

The order of the eve was all about watering the trees and plants on site as everything was sooooo dry!

It was a great task with a very definitive aim of getting as much water onto the plants as possible in the time we had. We used watering cans and water harvesting tanks as well as hoses to get as much water into the plants as possible as they were looking very dry.

We were rewarded in our efforts by Angela who provided biscuits and water at the end before we headed back to The Showroom for a stretch off. Celine even went blackberry picking on her way home!

Until next week, happy running :)

We welcome Ernest to our Goodgym group. thank you all for attending. It was fairly a hot day but 7 of us ran from The Showroom Cinema to Union Street, to Common Threads We were made very welcome with orange squash and loads if fruits too. Jess gave us a briefing and explained our tasks. We were all impressed with the 'Money Plants' at the entrance and a lovely photo was taken. We worked in pairs sorting from Baby clothes to adults and placing them in appropriate signage bags . There was also a 'Sports Bag' and we were given first choice to take what we want Not everyone is as lucky as Michelle who managed some lively sporty stuff for herself . We were also given bananas, water melons, plums and other treats. Thank you for your generous amount of treats. All in all the task was carried out with the help of other volunteers too.
