Well done, team - fantastic efforts today, four full bags of litter collected along the canal and Slater Street, that's less filling up the canal!

Armed with litter pickers, bags, hoops, and plenty of energy, five fantastic GoodGymmers set off down the canal path toward Slater Street (because let’s face it, there’s always a can or two waiting for us there). As expected, Slater Street didn’t disappoint - but neither did we.

With the sun beaming down and the conversations flowing, it was a perfect day for our task. After doing our good deed, we enjoyed a brisk walk back to base, feeling great about our efforts.

Great to see one of our newest members Julie again and hear about her past marathon successes after Sarah is still talking about London.

Special shout-out to Stu our walking inspiration who's aiming for an incredible 100 miles in May. He’s already clocked up 50 miles, and we’re only halfway through the month. Keep stepping, Stu, keep us updated!

7 loads of school uniforms washed in less than 24 hours due to the gorgeous weather. LCH Charity are a Leicester based charity that supply clean uniforms to children whose family, for whatever reason, need help.

weldone to everyone who brought along their unwanted donations to Age UK yesterday, all donations are always appreciated.

A team of seven enthusiastic GoodGymmers came together to lend a helping hand at the Age UK Superstore this week. The group was tasked with sorting through a large collection of CDs, DVDs, and books, helping to categorize them and prepare them for sale.

Mel, Lynn, Nick, and Stu focused on organizing and categorizing CDs and DVDs, while Dawn and Lindsay took charge of sorting books particularly in the history and cooking sections. Once sorted, items were neatly stacked to a 1 meter high shelf length, ready for display and pricing.

The task was a refreshing change from the usual clothes sorting, and everyone enjoyed the variety. There was a strong sense of achievement as the team reached their 1-meter stacking goal, demonstrating teamwork and efficiency.

A special shoutout to Stu, who is running the Shakespeare Half Marathon this weekend, best of luck! It was inspiring to hear about his training for an upcoming 24 hour event, walking an impressive 20 to 40 miles per week. And kudos to Mel, who has now completed five months of doing a 5K every single day!

A fantastic effort all around weldone team!

5 GoodGymmers helped restock the donated items, Mel and Dave had a lot of book sorting to do! weldone all

8 Super Goodgymmers helped sort, label, tag and hang at Age UK Superstore today, a fairly new charity shop in Leicester that we have supported since their opening.

Today we had not 1 but 2 new members, great to meet you both and I’m pleased you enjoyed today’s task. Very quickly everyone worked through the bags filling the rails in no time. Dave and Mel sorted a huge pile of books, amazing how more hands make for a lighter load.

Dawn had been busy knitting bobble hats for the Innocent smoothie bottles, they were so creative the watermelon themed hat was a fave, they were all amazing.

Good luck to those of you running Kibworth League race this Sunday and Weldone to Dave running to today’s task, Dawn walking and Mel reaching 105 days of 5km every day! Amazing!

Weldone everyone, Age UK praised your efforts as always appreciated.
