Five GoodGymers headed out from One Strawberry Lane to the Teams area of Gateshead to deliver leaflets on behalf of Big Local Gateshead, to promote their Grand Opening on October 24th. After collecting the leaflets from the community centre, we set to work in the darkness.
We've delivered leaflets in this area before, for both Big Local Gateshead and Stomping Grounds NE. The layout of the streets is a little unusual, more so in the dark, but we made a reasonable dent in the pile of leaflets. We'll be back next Monday to finish the job, please come and join is if you can!
We had Aimee completing her 399th good deed tonight, so a nice round number milestone is imminent. Richard also completed 100 good deeds yesterday. On the other end of the scale, welcome once again to enthusiastic new GoodGymer Libby, completing a hattrick of good deeds. No imminent milestones for Louise or Scott, but it's always great to have two such seasoned leaflet deliverers joining us.
Big Local Gateshead is one of 150 Big Locals founded in 2012 all over the UK to help residents make a difference to the area they live in. Big Local Gateshead operates in Teams and the racecourse estate in Bensham, and their governing body is made up of people who live or work in that area. They run a community space on Derwentwater Road, an allotment on Bensham Bank, and activities all across the area.
