It was a stunning afternoon for the first ever Community Mission for GoodGym Newcastle.

We were honoured to help out at The Great Get Together at Elswick Park in support of the Jo Cox Foundation

Our jobs for the day were:

  • Helping to set up
  • Registering people as they arrived
  • Handing out surveys
  • Helping out with model-building (YAAASSSSSS)
  • Litter pick and tidy up
  • Left over cake-eating

Gillian went into full CHALLENGE ANNEKA MODE zooming off to pick up a clothes rail needed for an activity, while Carol Anne swapped the Hoover for a pair of shears to trim back some nettles before hundreds of guests arrived!

As Paul and Ross arrived, the park was buzzing with families from all around the West-End community who stepped up to do activities like model-building and a massive quiz. The atmosphere was proper lush and really showed off the community spirit in one of the most culturally diverse areas of town.

Top marks to everyone for popping along to help out and kudos to Carol Anne and Ross for helping to eat the leftover cake at the end.

It was the perfect start to the weekend!
