Sophie, Emma and Kim joined other volunteers with Wimborne War on Waste to do a litter pick around Wimborne town centre.

Amongst the many beer bottles and bits of plastic some of the most unusual items found were an old paddling pool and a squashed shopping basket.

Thank you Wimborne War on Waste for having us. We look forward to the next one!

It was a beautiful autumnal sunny morning at Upton Junior Parkrun.

I was the tail walker again following the 120 participants at the back to walk and occasionally run the 2k route.

Tail walking means no participant comes last and ensures the safety of the runners as you carry and walkie talkie and first aid kit.

We hope Goodgym will be back next month to help again!

Three Poole Goodgymers joined their friends of the Bournemouth group to help the Walk for Wards event at Upton Country Park.

Whilst the Bournemouth group were heading off ahead of the participants that were walking the 3,5 and 8k route the Poole Goodgymers were marshaling cheering on and ensuring everyone was heading in the right direction.

It felt like they had every type of weather that morning but it was a wonderful event!

Thank you Walk for Wards for having us

James, Chloe and Kim were back at Cornerstone Patch in Hamworthy. Cornerstone had been donated possibly the biggest pile of wood chip ever seen! The Goodgymers were tasked with filling wheelbarrows with the wood chip and then spreading it along paths at the site especially around the wildlife corner.

Thanks to Cornerstone for having us again and we’ll hopefully be there again in September.

Emma, Sylvie, Harry and Kim joined together to deliver some leaflets in their area of Poole to help spread the word of Goodgym. It was a success of pounding the pavements, putting leaflets through local homes and some of the team took a leaflets home to spread the word with work colleagues.

Hopefully we’ll have found some new Goodgym members or have built some connections with the community looking for help with new missions.

It was a solo walk around the beautiful Upton Country Park searching for butterflies.

This was in aid of the Big Butterfly Count that occurs every summer to assess the health of the UKs native butterflies.

Unfortunately the cloudy weather must have been putting them off as no butterflies were spotted but it was still lovely to walk around the gardens.
