On Sunday Kingston GoodGymers Rachel, Emily and Marie-Noëlle picked up something extra during their groceries shopping and dropped it off at their local Foodbank collection points to help those who are facing poverty, hunger and financial hardship.

And in Leicester, Ashley bought items at a local store and added to the food bank trolley 🛒

It was stormy weather in Leicester but it didn't stop our goodgym volunteers helping out at parkrun. We had Martin at Abbeypark at Braunstone we had Amanda, Jimmy and Ian and over at Watermead we had Jeanette, Katy, Dave and Nick well done everyone 👏

Todays team of six:Leese,Mel,Lindsay,Jimmy, Nick. Jeanette all met up at Age UK's Leicester warehouse/ store for a session at sorting,pricing and labelling clothes heading for the "99p sale" section. All items were checked for size and hung on the clothes hanger with the correct size cube. Lisa got cracking on organizing the empty clothes hangers into the size groups - the ocd'rs amongst appreciated the orderliness of the newly sorted hangers. Having done this task on a previous session Lindsay was straight into completing the task for each item: amend price, attach label, place item on clothes hanger, whereas a few of us split the job into seperate sections. Fuelled on biscuits and coffee in 90 minutes, we priced sized and sorted over 5 bags of donated clothes. The time flew too quickly, we could have carried on for a lot longer!

6 goodgymmers helped out at junior parkrun this remembrance Sunday, with RD, marshalls and tail walking duties covered!

The magnificent seven met at the task today which was clearing and tidying the canal path for the Canal and Rivertrust.

The seven set to work , litter picking , sweeping and general tidying along the footpath. All were given life jackets , gloves and equipment.

It didn’t take long to make a difference to the area. So many leaves had fallen and lots of used fireworks were bagged up for bins .

Stu saw a rat having a feast on a pumpkin near to Swans nest bridge . A lovely task . Well done everyone.
