After a mini group visit to Newcastle parkrun for some running and volunteering, a splendid six GoodGymers popped along to Nunsmoor Park to help out at their monthly volunteer day.
This regular community mission helps us to lend a hand to a group of amazing volunteers who turn out at Nunsmoor and the Bike Garden to keep the park looking tidy and keeping it safe for the people who use it every day.
Jobs today were all therapeutic ones where we could immediately see the difference we made:
Path edging around the top entrance to the park
Raking leaves
Clearing the walkway through Birdcage walk to remove leaves and make it wider
We did feel quite guilty that we had to move and rehome hundreds of worms in the path edging. Sorry!
It was clear from Emily and Andrew's handy work that they've been taught well by Mike at the regular Urban Green Newcastle missions! It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning finished off with well-earned tea and biscuits!
