Big welcome to Nicole for their first every GoodGym session! Well done for your first outdoor run in a while and great to have you along for the task with What If? in Stockport. Look forward to meeting you again soon.

Following the warm jog from Life Leisure Avondale, we arrived at What If? with a few different tasks required. After introductions and hearing about the things What If? get up to, we donned gloves and grabbed some gardening tools to remove lots of sticky willy otherwise known as Galium aparine from their community garden.

Once we had filled most of their compost bin and watered some courgette seedlings, we turned our attention indoors to help out with the big shed sort-out to catalog and label all the gardening and decorating tools that had accumulated. Ranging from rakes to spades and forks, plus lots of pots and hand tools, we made a decent dent in the big sort-out, so hopefully things are a bit more organised for future use.

Nicole stayed for a bite to eat and chat with the What If? crew while Maimoona and Ben made their way home. We hope to be back again soon!

A solo leaflet delivery for Together Trust to advertise their Cupcake Decorating fundraiser and their Charity Kilo Sale.

Tonight, Hannah-May, Laura and Mai returned to First Steps Pre School for the first time since 2018!

We took the scenic route down by the river and discovered a new path (when we were heading in the right direction 😂).

We helped with staining the fence in the lovely garden.

We met the lovely Helen and her daughter Ffion and over the course of 1.5 hours, discussed our lives in depth and told our funniest stories.

We hope to return to First Steps for future tasks! We received some lovely feedback from Helen after the session 😊

4 GoodGymers returned to What If? for the first time in 2025 and picked up where we left off last time, adding a second coat of paint to the benches so that they can be put outside so people can enjoy the garden in the nice weather.

We were treated to a delightful bowl of miso butter beans after the task and talked about our upcoming GoodGym sessions.

Thank you for having us back, we look forward to helping out again in the future!

P.s. Thanks to Meera for the pun!

Three goodgymers ran up to Castle Street in Edgeley to complete a litter pick.

It was nice to receive thanks from members of the public, and we were shocked at the number of discarded cigarette butts!

Huge congrats to Hannah who completed her 100th good deed tonight 🎉🎉🎉

Ben, Hannah and Laura got together to deliver the last of the leaflets for Together Trust - advertising their Spring Raffle and Car Boot Sale.

We chatted all things work whilst admiring the pink sky from the sunset 🌄
