Rachel, Georgeta, Neeta and Sheila from @GoodGymWM helping stallholders set up last weekend. An early morning couldn’t dampen their spirits and their help was greatly appreciated by the solo stallholders especially. #DoGoodGetFit

GoodGymer in the news Diya fundraised for a specially designed bike. The bike is the latest in transport for older people in Maidenhead, allowing a volunteer to whisk them off wherever they need to go. The idea, and bike, come from Denmark - an initiative called Without Age.
