8 fantastic Goodgymmers came out to play for a run and multiple tasks at Baby Basics Leicester, for our second visit after everyone enjoyed the first time so much.
Baby Basics Leicester work with midwives, health visitors and other professional groups to provide support by donating essentials directly where it is most needed. So much work goes into sorting donations, checking items work or fit together safely and much more hard work.
We split into 3 teams, with team 1 cot building, to check all the pieces, they successfully built 2 which will be send out to families in need.
Team 2 sorted toiletries for packages sent out to mums, then came to join forces with team 3 un-tagging blankets and sorting clothes into sizes, boys or girls and hat size sorting. We were also joined with one of Baby Basics hard working volunteers who was blown away by he concept of GoodGym.
Tonight was Daniel first group session, not his first run of the day after a speedy 20 miler this morning but his first Good deed, apart from him running with me while I check out graffiti and cycle signs in the local area.
We welcomed back Laura and Lisette who used to Goodgym before I came along, lovely reunion for the group and really good to meet you both, enjoy half term hopefully see you again.
Weldone team wonderful way to spend an evening doing good for our community and getting fit at the same time, take care.
