Friday 20th September

Written by Dave M

Mixers, cookbooks, cutlery and all manner of kitchen-y bits were hauled out of cupboards and drawers!

A superb collection of items were donated by GG-ers for the pantry to supply those in need.

Well done gang, the team were super happy and they have many crates of stuff ready!

Court(yard) in the act

Wednesday 10th August 2022

Written by Katie Carew-Robinson (she/her)

Tonight's task was a relatively simple tidy and weed affair but did require some logical thinking. Luckily we had Kat's engineering brain / stone walling knowledge on hand.

Vicki gets an extra gold star for turning up with cold water straight from the fridge and some cups. What a hero!

We had to work around donated bikes (for incoming Ukrainian families), floor matting, chairs, a slide and lovely smells of spices from the pantry.

Vicki started off down the side alleyway and everyone else eventually ended up down there too except for Maura who was determined to try and get the weed roots up using a pair of scissors!

A good amount of team work meant that the courtyard and side alleyway are free from weeds and rubbish (for the moment!) & everything being stored outside is a bit more organised.

Good work GoodGym!

Weed watch this race

Friday 30th July 2021

Written by Katie Carew-Robinson (she/her)

It's the Olympics which means watching all the sports that you don't normally follow. This morning, that included our very own mini version with the snail and caterpillar racing in the yard at North End Baptist Church!

The weeds had started to take hold again and we were there to pull them up and make it a nicer / clearer place for the social groups to sit in.

Less than an hour passed before we had the place cleared and various snails, slugs and caterpillars encouraged to rehome themselves in the surrounding gardens.
