10 Goodgymers including first, but definitely not her last timer Sam made their way to the second session at the Green Skills Library

This time round host Donna put us straight to work and showed us how to line planters using old pub umbrellas (if Carlsburg made Goodgym tasks....)

Sam T proved he was very handy with a staple gun- and got the liners stapled into place in no time! Luckily no Final Destination moments occured!

The other team members turned their hands to painting the planters with an array of colours including taking inspiration from Mr Blobby (or planets in Sam's case), lovely leaves by our resident artist Amy and the grand finale of the GoodGym planter!

A successful and satisfying task all around

🎉 What a fantastic night we had with 13 enthusiastic GoodGym members joining us for tonight’s task! We were thrilled to welcome Sarah and Elizabeth for their first Wednesday night adventure!

Our evening kicked off with a meet-up at the community centre. We enjoyed a social stroll through Kidwells Park and town, before gathering with the rest of the crew. Our task leader, Donna, then led us on a secret trail to sneak into the Nicholson's Centre after dark! 🌙🔦

Once we arrived at our mission site, we were introduced to the amazing work of the Green Skills Library. They’re all about working with local communities to boost sustainability and align with the UN's Global Goals on Climate, Biodiversity, and Health & Wellbeing. 🌍💚

Tonight’s tasks had us rolling up our sleeves and getting creative! We built a planter out of reclaimed pallets and got down to some serious sanding and painting of pre-made planters. These beauties will be donated to social housing and other local charities. It was a wonderfully social evening, filled with laughter, learning new skills, and engaging conversations about the Green Skills Library’s awesome initiatives and what we can do ourselves at home. 🛠️🎨

We are back again next week so look out for the listing and get signed up!
