Tonight 12 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to Norwich Foodbank to help pack donations.

It was a cold night so everyone kept busy by splitting into groups to form a GoodGym production line - beginning with unpacking boxes of mash & juice, placing the items in plastic crates, taking the crates to be weighed before piling up crates in a corner of the warehouse.

At the same time another group broke down the left over plastic and cardboard, and pushed it on trolley to the recycling area.

In the midst of it all we had Joshua attending his 1st Good Deed, and founding member Steven celebrating his 400th with a special balloon!!

After 45 minutes the task was complete so we headed out into the cold to return home.

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.

The team got stuck in this evening as we cleared leaves and planted spring bulbs.

Everyone worked hard and achieved a lot.

Thanks Maddy for the great photos!

351 people on an autumnal feeling morning turned up to run/jog/walk around Catton today. Our very own Steven Hitcham volunteered with our GG mascot Leo to complete his 400th Goodgym Mission. Robert O, Jonathan, Roisin & Susanna were in the GG colours today Well done everyone

Tonight 19 GoodGymers ran 6km to Mousehold Health to help support the biodiversity in this natural habitat.

It's a regular and popular task on the GG Norwich calender lead by Will the local warden, who provided tools and a gave us a historical background on this famous site.

We split into 2 groups, covering a wide area pulling up bracken to allow heather and other plant species to grow. We also used 5 pitch forks to clear the area of a former chapel ready for a Heritage Open Day History Walk taking place this weekend. See the booking link if you are interested in attending.

We also celebrated the runners, volunteers and cheerleaders, who took to the streets of the city centre for Run Norwich 10km yesterday! Nice one team.

After a swift hours work it was time to bid farewell. We will be back again for more conservation work in the next month.
