What a lovely group of young people. It was great to be able to get to know them and get out for a walk, and with a little encouragement many of them joined in with some running in the park. Thanks to Nicole and the other volunteers from TransitionsUK for making us feel so welcome and appreciated.

Well done everyone for joining in with the launch night, what a great turnout we had, lovely to meet everyone!

First we got warmed up on live TV, which isn't how that bit normally goes! Then after a few intros to GoodGym and how you will help Luton, we set off on our 2km run to the Penrose Roots to Recovery garden and Amy led a walking group, who walk-jogged their way along.

On arrival we met Peter who showed us the giant plot of weeds that needed clearing so the area can be used for planting crops again. Pre-pandemic they were producing tons of vegetables here that went to feeding the local community via soup kitchens and homeless hostels, you helped that resource get back on track to continuing to feed the needy.

We had made two impressive mounds of weeds before we left for a little interval training in Wardown Park, to get the legs warmed up again for the return leg, completing our 4km journey with a cool down stretch back at St George's Square.

I hope you all had a great time We'll definitely be back in a few weeks to give the project another boost!
