Today I helped clear an overgrown path so that the rear of the house can be safely accessed.

A great work out in the winter sunshine!

Six Coventry Goodgymers braved the cold and damp on a Tuesday evening for a group run.

With two on bikes and four runners, we set off on our run/cycle and did a large loop and some smaller loops in and around the city centre whilst having a chat and catch up. We finished our run with some speedy reps next to Starley Gardens and then had a good stretch to finish. Our total distance for the evening was 4.5km/almost 3 miles. The cyclists did two full laps of the city centre and joined us for a photo at the end.

Lovely to see you all, see you at the same time next week!

Nigel, James and Ann joined members of Team Sprinboard to help trim hedges and complete some shelving, storage areas within the new shed. We had a visit from usual allotment animals, Robin the Robin, herbie the dog and our very friendly ginger cat We had a hot brew , biscuits and cakes to finish off .

This week we visited the Carriers of Hope for our monthly volunteering session. 8 Goodgymers made it there tonight and there was plenty to be done !

Dawn and Namreen were there tonight to greet us as we arrived. The tasks tonight were reorganising all of Cutlery, bowls plates and dishes and all of the toiletry packs needed separating and and repacking into crates . It was a good turn out and everyone was kept busy . Also a new face Junny joining for his first Goodgym session, ! ! So welcome Junny . The tasks all got completed 🙌 and we will be back for another session next month. !

Seven Goodgymers ran 7km on a chilly Tuesday to deliver leaflets for Myton Hospice's Snowdon trek and midnight walk at Warwick Castle.

Almost 300 leaflets were delivered and Nigel very kindly offered to deliver the remainder! Excellent work everyone, hope to see you all next week!

Eight Coventry Goodgymers ran and cycled approximately 5km to Clothing Coventry this week.

With a surge in donations after Christmas, there were lots of moving and sorting tasks to keep us busy! We had a brief introduction to Clothing Coventry, then we set to work moving boxes of donated trainers from one warehouse to another, putting clothing on hangers according to size and making up packs of baby clothes with t-shirts, PJs and jumpers. Clothing Coventry supported over 6800 people last year and this year is already looking like it will be even busier!

Welcome and well done to our new members Tessa Helen and welcome back Marcelle it is fab to see you again and catch up!
