Tonight 10 GoodGymers ran down to Homeless Hampers for our quickest task yet!

We created hygiene bags for 20 men and 20 women for the Homeless Hampers team to give out this weekend. We also sorted out clothes and shoes to pack the van for them to be given out to homeless people in Leeds.

Many hands make light work & after a quick 40 minute task we were done and could run back to Heart.

For once we were all back home in good time for an earlier than usual Wednesday dinner!

It was great to meet Jitheesh tonight for his first session & to welcome back Shannen who used to be a member a couple of years ago. We hope to see you both again soon.

Well done all!

Tonight 13 of us ran from Heart down to Left Bank (after a little detour from Katie)!

The staff asked us to sand down and paint benches with pink & red stripes. We got to work and the benches looked great; the staff are going to gloss them tomorrow to finish them off.

Afterwards, Left Bank kindly gave us a drink each as a thank you, which were gratefully received.

Welcome to Irene who joined us for her first session tonight.

Well done to Adam on his 20th good deed tonight & Bryony for her 10th!

It was a great evening, thanks all :)

Tonight 11 GoodGymers ran up to Bedford Fields where we did a variety of tasks involving a pond, a couch and sticky weed!

One group created a larger mound for the edge of the new pond, some of the boys took great satisfaction in breaking up an old couch and some of us pruned and pulled up lots and lots of sticky weeds.

There were many nettle stings and a few crawling insects but Jubz did his obligatory pose with not only a spade but with sledge hammer too, so all is well with the world!

We welcomed Nazia to GoodGym tonight, we hope to see you again soon!!

We made a big impact in an hour so well done all!!

Tonight we ran from Heart down to St Stephen's Church Hall to once again weed and tidy up the garden for Kirkstall Valley Development Trust.

We cleared the garden a few weeks ago so we just did a general tidy up to keep the area tidy.

Kirkstall Valley Development Trust is an inclusive Community Benefit Society whose aims are to support the local community of Kirkstall. Working from two locations – a community hub, where the food pantry is located, and also from the farm – they are run by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers who run activities, events, campaigns and services to benefit the community and bring people together.

It was nice to meet & welcome newcomers Kate & Chris this evening; welcome to GoodGym Leeds :)

We even got home in time to support England in the football for those who wanted to.

Good work team!
