Alpacas, horses, weeding, running & cake...what more do you need on a Wednesday evening?! We spent the evening running to Beckhill Community Garden, visiting the Alpaca's on route. There was a big group tonight, so we weeded a large area, litter picked, cleared the steps and laid cardboard and wood chip. The garden was celebrating winning a certificate for outstanding volunteers, of which GoodGym Leeds have been a big part! A few of us then headed back to Heart for a drink and cake! Thanks for a great evening all :)

...they kept saying it but we stopped believing them! Well done to the team for running 10.5K tonight up many, many hills for the Apperley Bridge Canter! Organised by Horsforth Harriers around the beautiful countryside of Apperley Bridge, it was a beautiful but tough route. I was so happy to catch up with Shannen near the end & we were so pleased to see the rest of the team at the end, thanks for cheering us on guys! Congratulations to everyone on finishing & for supporting 'Stand against MND'.

We had another fantastic evening up at OWLS allotments in Headingley. We weeded large parts of the plot as usual and no doubt will do it all again next month! Jubz was very generous and gifted the group a selfie stick so that we can finally all get in pictures. He also wore his shirt backwards which everyone was too polite to point out (apart from me)! Congratulations to Shannen on her 40th good deed tonight & to Christian on his 42nd (sorry I missed your 40th)! You guys are awesome! Well done team and thanks for a great evening.

On the way to Bedford Fields tonight we finished our leafletting task for Unity Action Day. They are putting on a health & wellbeing event for young people this Monday, so this helped promote it. Good work team!

The Leeds gang had a great night at Bedford Fields yesterday.

We ran up via the ridge & did some leafleting (see the separate report) & then headed to Bedford Fields to clear a path of lots of sticks and brambles, while another group cleared the public path. A few of us managed a break to play on the swing which is hidden at the top of the garden (it's not all hard work).

Super Helen had to her wear her cape & mask to celebrate a whopping 202 good deeds...what a hero!! Well done Helen!

Jubz then took a group to the pub to see Man United get beat... while the rest of us took a slow run back to Heart.

Welcome to Rachel & Clarice, we hope to see you again soon.

What a night! We celebrated Katie's upcoming wedding with a feast by Shannen & her catering company, The Honest Supper Club. The food was amazing & we polished it off with cake curtesy of Snack Force leader Jubz. Thanks guys, we loved it!! We all had a go at writing Katie's vows & apparently 12 kids & a peaceful home are on the agenda, along with pants on a lamp post?!!?!?!?!

Before the feast, the runners were taken on a wildlife mystery tour with an Alpaca being the star of the show. We did 5K, so we were a bit late for the task, but luckily the non runners were already hard at work (sorry guys)! We trimmed hedges, cleared the brambles, litter picked and revealed the tiles along the path.

We finished off with a walk back to Heart. Thanks for a great evening all & good luck Katie!
