Organisation stations

Newcastle Report written by Anji Andrews (she/her)

I don't know if I've mentioned this yet, but I cycled across the country in two days last week and it was a great chance to get back in the saddle to lead tonight's bike-themed Group Run with Recyke Y Bike.

Hazel and I both cycled to the task tonight while the runners took on the short sharp hills to Recyke. It was great to have Melvyn along for his first ever group run. Kudos!

Recyke Y Bike is an amazing space and a home to hundreds of donated bikes waiting for repairs and new homes. The staff have been out and about in the community in the last few weeks, repairing childrens' bikes and making them safe.

Super task owner Sara met us with two organisation tasks for this evening: sorting and organising inner tubes (Seb and Aimee's job for the night!) and ruthlessly sorting through donated bike accessories, a job for Hazel and Melvyn to get stuck into.

Seb commented that without doubt, Team Sky will have the same procedure with their cyclists of "make a pile of big ones then arrange them from big to small ones". Top technical skills Seb!

A run back to the start in glorious evening sunshine followed before a great stretch off and a great quayside photo. Job done!

We are back at Ouseburn Trust for our group run next week. See you then!

Community Cape

Community Cape

Melvyn Taylor earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.

Melvyn completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Melvyn was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

A cracker of an evening

Newcastle Report written by Removed User (she/her)

I think this was definitely one of my favourite GoodGym good deeds tonight as we helped out at The Comfrey Project in Gateshead.

"The Comfrey Project provides refugees and people seeking asylum across Tyneside with a safe, welcoming environment, which promotes personal well-being through a sense of place and belonging. This is achieved by various shared creative crafts including allotment gardening, cooking and crafts"

I was joined by Jenny, Melvyn, Rachel, Michael, Jack and Aimee. Go and give Jack a cheer as he completed his very first GoodGym good deed tonight.

We were warmly welcomed by Katherine and Hussein. They gave us an introduction/background to the project. Hussein was particularly inspiring as he told us his story of how the project helped him and now he is employed and helps to run the service.

They were brilliant throughout and so organised with stations laid out for us and eveeything regularly sanitised. They even made us cups of tea which we were very grateful for.

We helped tonight to pack wellbeing parcels which they provide on a monthly basis (which is incredible) The parcels included a range of items including learning and activity packs (which we helped to put together) games and toys for Children, toiletries, mince pies/Christmas puddings and Christmas Crackers.

We will be returning on Saturday for part 2 so make sure you get involved!
