7 GoodGymmers laced up their trainers and grabbed their litter pickers to tackle the towpath along the canal. In partnership with the Canal & River Trust, our mission was clear- to clean up the tow path keeping it spic and span for everyone to enjoy and help the environment.

From plastic bottles and cans to discarded wrappers and bottle tops, no piece of trash was too small to pick up. We filled 4 full bags of trash! A shout-out to our newest member, Gillian, who joined us for her first GoodGym task. Weldone for getting stuck right in, hope you enjoyed it!

On route Dawn placed one of the 'Random acts of knitting and crochet kindness' on a bench for someone to find and bring a smile to their face, weldone Dawn a lovely thing to do.

Weldone everyone fantastic efforts on a lovely sunny day see you again soon!

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!

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!
