Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Jonny Carter
Today we had an extra GoodGym Group run, yep it was the GG Brum starter session. I was joined by Lizzie, to help out the Albert Street Project.
The task was to meet Aygun and her team by Greggs at 11am to collect our goodies and then walk around the city centre giving them out to the homeless. We had sausage rolls, pasties, caramel slices and coffee. We also had some hats, gloves and coats to distribute. One of the best parts of this task is the social interaction with the homeless community. All of them were very appreciative and enjoyed having a quick chat, one even recognised my Yorkshire accent!
Once we had distributed all our stuff, myself and Lizzie said goodbye to Aygun and the team and we headed for a short run to the canal. Liz was going to carry on along to Harbourne as she was doing a long run as part of her Manchester Marathon training. I was heading the other way back down they canal towards Spaghetti junction, therefore we had a quick selfie and then headed on our way.
