Three GoodGymmers lent a helping hand at the Age UK Superstore. Stu took on shredding (that's a new one!) making light work of a pile of old paperwork, deffinatly a behind the scenes job.
Meanwhile, Jimmy and Lindsay were busy re-labelling and hanging clothes to help get stock ready for customers, a task they are both pro's at now.
Huge shout out to Jimmy who has reached an amazing 300 Good deeds! Weldone Jimmy!
With teamwork and I'm sure there was laughter, it was a productive morning supporting a great cause. Big thanks to the Age UK team for welcoming Goodgym Leicester.

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!

Goodgymers Jen and Stu met up with Richard from CRT for a walk along the towpath picking litter as they went. The temperature was lower than the day before which made it quite a pleasant walk. The usual collection of drinks cans and bottles made up the majority of the rubbish snaffled into bin bags. A late find of a football provided another predictable find. Eight bags of rubbish collected and a patch of giant bog weed reported in by Rich. The vegetation is growing making the towpath area look quite lush and green. Well done to Stuart for keeping up with his Equinox24 Training.Stu
