Three goodgymers volunteered at Whitley bay junior parkrun on a very wet sunday morning! 52 young runners braved the wet and we ensured they were safe to do so.

I was run director and Michael and Muhannad had a very special job of being extra marshals to make sure the young runners didn't run into some temporary fencing around the Panama swimming club building.

It was wet and cold but a short and successful mission!

a lovely morning in Nunsmoor Park today supporting Newcastle Parks alongside some Greening Wingrove volunteers.

we came, we saw, we olanted - daffodils, allium, snowdrops and more. The park is going to be beautiful in Spring.

An added bonus to a great morning was an extra pair of paws - Mitzi, an elderly lady who still enjoys a bit of fetch!

Today we joined in with Greening Wingrove's Doing Day at the Bike Garden. we joined a few other volunteers in the garden and me and Aimee were assigned to cutting back the hedges with long and short handle shears - as well as a saw!. Preserving habitats but clearing off some space in the winter months. It was great to hear from Hannah in the garden about what they are going to do with the branches - a dead hedge! more habitat for the garden!

we'll be back again in 3 weeks time - hope to see you there!

Just me on a dark and rainy evening but I managed to deliver hundreds of leaflets in 40 minutes. It was a race against time to get them out before the song of solidarity and strength opening night tomorrow! I really was not feeling it when I started with the miserable dark night and the terrible weather but I turned up the music and pushed to see how fast I could do it and before I knew it the pile of flyers was quickly going down and I got into it.
