Moving on Up
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Moving on Tyne and Wear in Newcastle.
- Tuesday, 20th of September 2022
- Led by Newcastle runner
Tonight’s task was to deliver 250 leaflets for Moving on Tyne and Wear, a local employability programme who help people in Tyne and Wear who are unemployed and have a health barrier, disability, additional learning need or autism get into employment, training or volunteering. Sadly their funding is ending next year so they’re keen to spread the word and help as many people as possible while they can.
My first task was moving on from one Byker supermarket to another, having initially gone to the wrong meeting place! Fortunately I wasn’t too late and it was lovely to bump into GoodGymers Emma and Kate who were doing their grocery shop!
Aimee, Michael and I then got a move on and started delivering the leaflets. We started in Byker and moved on to Walker, happily finding several streets where there were upstairs and downstairs flats, allowing us to quickly move on through our pile of leaflets deliver all 250 in an hour! Michael was pleased to finish so quickly as he was feeling hungry and was keen to move on to dinner!
Well done team!
