Tonight 16 GoodGymers ran or cycled to support East Anglia Children's Hospice in Plumstead Road.

We had extra lights and visibility while running to the task, as we were supporting This Girl Can's campaign #LetsLiftTheCurfew to raise awareness of womens safety exercising outdoors in the darker months.

At the store we were given plenty of tasks, cleaning shelves, taking down window displays, sorting out books / furniture and breaking down boxes. It was also a chance to hunt for some bargains when sorting through donations!

Hi Five to Maddy for reaching her 100th Good Deed!! In her words she 'joined GoodGym so she didn't have to run in the dark in winter on her own' - and that is why we are here!

Thanks everyone for making this community a safe and supportive place for all.

Thanks Woody for the pun!

Today 7 GoodGymers ran 4km join local residents and volunteers at Edmund Bacon Close.

The venue had been supplied with tools, bulbs and trees to be planted including Acers, Prurius, Viburnham and Jasmine. Thankfully the rain had stopped but the ground was soft so we got to work digging and planting in different areas of the grounds.

After an hour we had planted the trees and clusters of daffodills, snowdrops, bluebells and crocus.

We love forward to returning in the spring to see what has grown!

9 GoodGymer's turned out for a great morning at Mousehold Heath.

Cutting back Common Gorse, which is an invasive species and has been strangling the heather that grows on the heath. The Heather is a great pollinator and is essential to bees and insects thriving.

The team removed lots of Gorse, with the aid of Will’s big protective gloves and long reaching loppers. After it was removed it was laid on drag mats and taken to a big hole not far away where it can mulch down.

Everyone was in great spirits and could see a massive impact for the hours work that it took of lopping and dragging.

We will be back again in a few weeks for another task in Mousehold.
