Good Gym’s monthly visit to the Richmond Furniture Scheme visit saw four GGers tasked with clearing the side and back of the RFS warehouse In other words, making it vine and dandy!

On cloudy, overcast day and armed with loppers and hoes, both Monika and Chris set about clearing the side passage finding items such as a skateboard and an old cup as well as other odds and ends.

While JP and Adam set about clearing the vines and weeds off the passage gate.

Overall a vine old time was had by all!

It was a warm but overcast morning in Twickenham as four of Goodgym’s finest gathered at the Richmond Furniture Scheme for our monthly mission there.

The RFS is a great organisation which repairs and restores donated furniture which is sold on to the public, at discounted rates for those who need a little more help.

We welcomed back a long-lost Vix and an even longer-lost Pippa and everyone got stuck in to the task, which was to move stone slabs from one side of the car park to the other. We decided to make use of one of the trolleys which Harry dragged across and up a deceptive incline to reach the shed where the slabs were to be stacked.

No slab was too heavy for two and we finished the main part of the task in 4 trips. It then remained for us to shovel the soil (as the slabs had been surrounding a flowerbed of sorts) into bags and across to the same destination.

It was a satisfying mission followed by a coffee in Richmond for those going that way. We’re looking forward to being back at the RFS in September.

On the longest and hottest day of the year so far, three GoodGymmers turned out for our monthly Richmond Furniture Scheme visit

JP, Sam and Adam, arriving by various means of transport from bike, running to driving, were allocated the task of weeding and clearing out the overgrown yard before bagging and leafing it all behind!

We finished off by helping unload items from the weekends mega skip day

Overall you could say the outside space was improved beyond Beleaf!

At this month’s RFS visit, Adam, Chris, JP, Steph and Suze were given the task of causing double bubble trouble toil and trouble!

In other words,recycling bubble rap to be used in the RFS store to wrap up donated brick a brac items.

Additionally, with the help of knifes, we successfully broke down the cardboard boxes they came in.

Fortunately we did not burst anyone’s bubble here.

Adam, Chris, JP and Sam turned out for Good Gym’s monthly Richmond Furniture Scheme visit on this sunny Easter weekend.

Supplied with Hoes, spade and choppers we were instructed to tidy up the over growing weeds in the front yard and move the garden furniture that needed disposing of.

Chris and JP both proved dab hands with the hoes, while Sam used his skills with the spade and Adam was able to chop back much of the overgrowing greenery.

All this added up to a job well done!

To win it we had to remove disposable furniture such as a sofa, table and a filling cabinets.

Once completed, a litter pick was required to dispose of the excess rubbish found around the yard to make the outside space more inviting for RFS customers and workers.

A job well done, and we were able to bin it to win it!
