Not quite what the pun suggests !

On a wet Friday evening, the Knights of the Round Table Kenilworth were out doing their yearly rounds as Santa's little helpers – part of 20 days of collecting money for charities and spreading Christmas cheer. Santa visited Kenilworth folk in his sleigh, playing Christmas songs and meeting the children. I joined members of the Earlsdon Running Club and the Knights of the Round Table, knocking on doors and collecting for good causes. It was a wonderful evening that really gets you into the Christmas spirit, and we raised £410.20! Awesome effort from everyone 🙌

Great turn out tonight, thanks to everyone who made it out to help. Fantastic effort with approx 1200 leaflets delivered in 40 minutes!

Thanks to Graeme and Nigel who have taken extra leaflets to deliver locally to them.

Hope you have all warmed up and can feel you fingers again, brrrrrr!

Another amazing session for a freezing cold Saturday!! 7 Goodgymers helped out with massive task of collecting over 3500 trees.. A huge operation that has been growing year on year to raise money for the charities , Pass The Smile and Myton Hospice. There were various jobs that needed doing , Jackie , Vickie and James unloading the trees ,which proved to be a very good workout Nigel was posted supplying the van drivers with tea and coffees and snacks ! Graeme was on registration for all the drivers that came in !! And Nigel and Catherine out on the road In the van collecting the trees !

It was a fun day despite the bitterly cold weather, great meeting positive people and amazing to be involved in such a wonderful cause .!!

Three Goodgymers made their way to the Canley area of Coventry to deliver leaflets for the Myton Hospices & Pass the Smile for Ben Christmas Tree collection in our final task of 2024. Last year, £35,000 was raised for the charities and we will be hoping to exceed this in 2025. With a list of streets left to leaflet, we covered around 4.5km delivering leaflets and admiring the Christmas lights and decorations.

Big Congrats to Graeme for hitting the big 100 deeds! Here's to another 100!

Have a lovely festive season and here's to many more good deeds in 2025!

HO HO HO! A fun night joining Santa through the streets of Kenilworth for the Kenilworth Round table. In total we collected £496.44 for local good causes including Myton Hospice and Pass The Smile :)

A big thank you from Colin from the Round Table for all you help.

Despite the cold evening, four GoodGymers made their way to Canley to deliver leaflets. Laura, Lil, James, and Chris met up just outside the Cannon Park shopping centre to start their walk. The chosen route took us through a rather spooky alleyway, and out onto the Cannon Hill Road.

With much folding of leaflets, much hunting for letterboxes, and more than a little house envy, a good portion of the leaflets for Myton and Pass the Smile got posted to the unsuspecting residents of the area.

After avoiding a few wrong turns, we wound our way to the Kenilworth Road where we turned back to retrace our steps back to the meeting point. Although the selfie outside of Tesco perhaps wasn’t the usual GoodGym photograph, it was much warmer and brighter than the great outdoors.

There was a slightly worrying moment where we discovered how many leaflets were still left, but we gave our numb fingers the benefit of the doubt and congratulated ourselves on a job well done.
