Six Coventry Goodgymers braved the cold and damp on a Tuesday evening for a group run.

With two on bikes and four runners, we set off on our run/cycle and did a large loop and some smaller loops in and around the city centre whilst having a chat and catch up. We finished our run with some speedy reps next to Starley Gardens and then had a good stretch to finish. Our total distance for the evening was 4.5km/almost 3 miles. The cyclists did two full laps of the city centre and joined us for a photo at the end.

Lovely to see you all, see you at the same time next week!

This week we visited the Carriers of Hope for our monthly volunteering session. 8 Goodgymers made it there tonight and there was plenty to be done !

Dawn and Namreen were there tonight to greet us as we arrived. The tasks tonight were reorganising all of Cutlery, bowls plates and dishes and all of the toiletry packs needed separating and and repacking into crates . It was a good turn out and everyone was kept busy . Also a new face Junny joining for his first Goodgym session, ! ! So welcome Junny . The tasks all got completed 🙌 and we will be back for another session next month. !

Eight Coventry Goodgymers ran and cycled approximately 5km to Clothing Coventry this week.

With a surge in donations after Christmas, there were lots of moving and sorting tasks to keep us busy! We had a brief introduction to Clothing Coventry, then we set to work moving boxes of donated trainers from one warehouse to another, putting clothing on hangers according to size and making up packs of baby clothes with t-shirts, PJs and jumpers. Clothing Coventry supported over 6800 people last year and this year is already looking like it will be even busier!

Welcome and well done to our new members Tessa Helen and welcome back Marcelle it is fab to see you again and catch up!

This week, seven Coventry Goodgymers went to Carriers of Hope for our regular volunteering session.

Our tasks for the evening included sorting donations of toys, clothes and nappies, checking dates on food donations, breaking down cardboard boxes and having a good ol' post-christmas tidy up. Three Goodgymers got stuck into the tasks for the evening, whilst another four headed out on a social 5k run in the local area, and then joined the task after the run. We had a great evening as ever and are looking forward to returning next month for some more Goodgym fun.
