What a great night we had last night for the GoodGym Leeds Christmas party. We had a whooping 22 people come to celebrate Christmas & it was really wonderful to see such a lovely group of people come together.

Firstly, we met at Heart to do a quick clean of the nursery space & then everyone settled down in the nursery and I ran a sound bath for the group. I've never seen the GoodGym Leeds gang so quiet!!! Everyone relaxed to some gentle sound meditation & I really appreciated so many people coming to let me practice on them. We'll do another one in the new year :)

We then headed to the Heart bar for food, drinks & a Christmas quiz. We were also very lucky to have a group of musicians come along to entertain us all! Well done to Katie, Katie, Rachel & Kat's team who won the quiz with a fabulous 10/10 (I'll need to make it harder next year)!

It was also an opportunity to thank our wonderful task force, Helen, Jubz, Katie, Kat & Bryony (in her absence). We really appreciate everything you do for GoodGym Leeds, so thank you for everything you have done for the group this year.

Welcome to newcomer Finn & welcome back to Pik & Sudharsan who joined us for the second time. We hope to see you again soon.

Thanks all for a wonderful evening & Merry Christmas!

How many GoodGymers does it take to build an Ikea kitchen?!

Moving, rearranging, building kitchens, hanging doors, litter picking with tongs, running, star gazing, cookies, hot chocolate, hot water bottles down tops, falling over, star gazing & the cold.

Of all the random GoodGym nights, tonight was probably the most random. There were a lot of us in a very confined space at Bedford Fields as the ground was too frozen to do anything outside. We hung a door, started to build a kitchen and rearranged furniture.

Thanks to the none runners for staying behind to do more on the kitchen.

Congratulations to Helen on her 170th good deed! You're amazing.

Tonight we had a very welcome visitor to Heart, Matthew from BW Legal who presented us with a giant cheque for £772.40!!!! BW Legal raised money throughout October for GoodGym & we were so happy that the team got to meet Matthew & to have a picture with the giant cheque :) We really appreciate BW Legal's support of GoodGym, as funds like this will allow us to continue our good work in Leeds. After the excitement of getting the cheque, we then got to work cleaning the nursery space for Heart. Many hands made light work & we were done in about 35 minutes so we then headed out for 3.23K run (to be very precise)!! Jason led the way tonight & kept good pace for the group, thank you! Well done to Kat for completing her 65th good deed & to Jason for his 15th tonight.

Tonight we had a last minute change of plan as the volunteers at Bedford Fields were both sick. We decided to have a run and a litter pick instead. Helen sprung into action and planned a running route and I walked with some members down to Burley Park. We picked & chatted all the way back to Heart.

Jubz was very kind & walked Irene back to her bike, thanks Jubz! Thanks also to Helen for her organisation skills tonight! This was her 165th good deed for GoodGym Leeds...wow!

Welcome to GoodGym Fay & welcome back to Dilraj. We hope you'll join us again soon.
