Laura Barrett completed an epic 500 good deeds with GoodGym.

Say what? Laura is a Legend and enters the echelons of GoodGym folklore. 500 good deeds is an off-the-chart amount of good. It's enough good to reach the moon and back. Help Laura celebrate their legendary status.

Broom for improvement

York Report written by Ed Woollard (He/Him)

With the nights drawing in a whopping 29 GG Yorkies turned out to volunteer in their local community! We started off by welcoming newcomer Erin who was attending her first ever GoodGym session. We also gave a huge round of applause to one of our run leaders, Laura who tonight was completing her 500th(!) Good Deed. What an amazing achievement. Give them both a big cheer!

Tonight we were heading to Abbeyfield Care Home for the first ever time. Vicky set off a steady pace group whilst Ed led out the rest of the gang with Cara backmarking. We arrived at the task at the same time, but alas there was no one there to greet us. After a few laps of the grounds by Ed and Vicky we eventually encountered a member of staff who despite knowing we were coming, didn't seem quite prepared for us. Nevertheless we shared the one broom between us and after a fair bit of a delay got to work picking up weeds and leaves by hand, filling up a load of black sacks as we go.

The darker night had caught a few of us by surprise so the lack of head torches meant that we weren't always entirely sure if we were picking up the right things. But we did as much as we could in the brief amount of time we had and certainly managed to pull out a few weeds and sweep up a lot of leaves in the process.

Before too long it was time for the evening's fitness so we headed around to Little Hob Moor where Ed laid out a ring of cones for a game of tag with a twist. This time you would only be allowed to move using animal-inspired movements, including the taggers, so to start with we hopped around like Kangaroos whilst being chased by Nick, Vicky and Charlotte. After a few minutes of hopping we moved onto our finest crab impressions, with Charlotte once again proving she is the queen of niche exercises! The taggers then 'tagged out' to make way for Max, David and Laura who started as reluctant bear crawlers, before finally hopping around on one leg à la Flamingos. Every time someone was caught by a tagger they would step out of the circle and complete an exercise before being allowed back in, although as time progressed more people seemed happy to complete the exercise then spend anny more time hopping around on one leg!

We then headed back to the Priory Street Centre for some stretches and a wrap of what's happening in the coming weeks. We're still on the lookout for hands at the Yorkshire Marathon water station, so get yourselves signed up if you can!

Apologies for the slow start to tonight's session. We more than made up for it with the enthusiasm during the task and fitness!

Paving the way

York Report written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)

After getting a bit lost we finally located the task! With tools from Mel at the council we set about weeding the paving area in front if the flats.

In an hour the area looked much nicer.

Raking the Dead

York Report written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)

Tonight we started by saying something on our bucket list - looks like a trip to the south pole is on the cards!

We then set off to Fulford Cemetery. Vicky led a cycling group and Ed the runners. When we arrived we were met by Mel who gave us a selection of jobs to choose from. One group headed off to the yew trees to remove unwanted plants growing within them. Another team set about sanding the pergola and a bench, and even managed to give the bench a coat of paint. A third group weeded the edges of the path and the final group cut back grass between the graves!

In no time at all it was time for the team photo, put the tools away and head back to base. The light was fading so bike lights and head torches started to make an appearance!
