5 GoodGymmers came to help deliver Binspired brochures, greeted with winter weather this didn't stop them.
We navigated our way to our delivery round to post the June/July edition of the B-inspired Alert through the communities doors. This brochure tells the locals about what events are going on, including information about Foodshare. The 8th time we have supported this task.
Dawn baked a delicious lemon sponge cake to the joy of the GoodGymmers, along with teas and coffees from B-inspired it was prefect, weldone all.

8 GoodGymmers delivered leaflets to inform residents of Birstall Running Club's Swithland 6 league race. The very popular race taking place very soon.
Dave prepared all the maps and organised who was going where and we were all on our way.
In no time our mission was complete and it was time to investigate the sign I had spotted for the Bark Cafe.
After a short walk with Dan taking on the map reading skills whist Nick enjoyed plant spotting we found the cafe, greeted by 2 cute puppies. One of the puppies loved Dawn and kept snuggling up to her, we had fun and Stu very much enjoyed telling the puppy jump on my lap.
Weldone everyone coming along and goodluck to those running Swithland 6 beautiful race.

5 GoodGymmers headed over to the MIND Charity Warehouse, one of the regular charities in Leicester we support. Lovely to see Lindsay again and catch up.
Today we helped sort donation bags with items to supply the MIND charity shops or send to third world counties. We also tagged a big basket of clothes with their size that had already been sorted and checked for the shops. Only the top quality products get to be put on sale in the shops.
Whilst the ladies were busy the gentlemen were busy sorting the books, their favourite little corner. Stu found his next drinks bottle- a giant babies bottle!
Weldone all your help is very much appreciated by the team at Mind, look forward to seeing you next time.

While Millfield school had seen the end of the school day, the Goodgymmers crept in to continue the work we started in the summer holidays, creating a woodland area for the children to learn about nature and have fun. We were greeted with a mound of woodchip right next to the start of the woodland trail.
The team were straight to work filling the wheel barrows with woodchip and laying the woodland trail path, Mel did great job flattening the path with her sweeping brush. Meanwhile Tommo was placing bird boxes he had made in secret locations for the school children to try and spot them through the trail, there's 4 to search for.
Lindsay did an amazing job cutting back more branches, some with berries that we thought could be a risk with kids. We also litter-picked a bag and Nick played curling with Ashley, she swept as he wheel borrowed more woodchip making him go faster, teamwork!
Before we knew it the day was drawing in on us, 3 quarters of the way through the mound, it was home time. Weldone team fantastic efforts all round, deffinatly some strength work ticked off this evening.

3 Goodgymmers braved the drizzle to deliver letters to people living in the Thurmaston area of the Leicester Half Marathon route to raise awareness of the event that is an entirely not-for-profit event that raises money for LOROS.
Lindsay and Stu are not new to this game they very quicky got through the letters. Lindsay brought her wooden spoon to help push the piece of paper through, fantastic idea to protect your fingers.
Weldone both, great to hear Stu has came 1st in his catergory at the last 3 races he's done including one in Wales, good luck for Leicester Half Stu!
