Tonight 9 GoodGymer's ran 6km to support Norwich Foodbank.
We were sorting through food donations from Norwich City FC, unpacking boxes, filling up crates, labeling and arranging in piles in the warehouse.
Not put off by the cold weather, tonight was in fact Bill's 250th Good Deed! Well done on reaching this milestone!
The task was swiftly completed in 45 mins, and all boxes were empty which was a satisfying finish!

Four Good Gymers supported Green Hearts to clear weeds and brambles from overgrown allotment spaces for those waiting to grow their own veg. There was a significant amount of overgrown brambles and by clearing these it will help the reduction of allotment waiting lists in Norwich.

Today 7 GoodGymer's ran, cycled and walked to join the Friends of Anderson's Meadow local gardening group.
Tools were provided along with refreshments! We helped clear an area of overgrown unwanted plants to create a wild flower patch, improving the areas biodiversity.
Once the surface had been cleared and litter removed, some wildflower seeds were sown and stomped into the ground. We also erected a bamboo and twine fence to protect the plant growth.
In one hour the task was complete on a lovely sunny day!

Tonight 10 GoodGymer’s ran 6km to Alfred Nichols Court. We joined eight residents for a Quiz Night featuring rounds on Norfolk knowledge, Famous Brits, Sport & Pictures.
Halfway through, we stopped for tea and biscuits supplied by Norwich City Council.
It was a great evening bringing local residents together vying for the prize of an assorted box of hot chocolate!
This week the winning team was aptly named - Running Away With It.. Well done team!

Today’s task was fun, 7 GoodGymers supplemented the big group of Wild Lakenham to continue making the banks an excellent habitat for lizards to thrive in the Summer.
A few of us also did some litter picking and found lots to tidy, including an entire bike.
A task that saw GoodGymers arrive to help at different times and stay longer or shorter depending on their day, but we did all gather for the all important group photo.
