Storm Benjamin didn't stop play, so we hit the streets of Cambridge again this week to keep the area tidy. Taking a steady jog, we headed this time to the bus station and surrounding green space. There wasn't as much litter as we were expecting, but we managed to collect nearly a bag full in 40 minutes, so a good effort 💪 A lovely member of the public stopped to say they were grateful for what we were doing, which was a nice reminder of the impact we have.

It was brilliant to welcome Ilse for her first GoodGym task 🙌

From weeding borders to sweeping paths, we turned teamwork into tidy work at tonight's task

We started with a stretch, then sprinted straight into action, ready to weed, sweep and spruce up the green spaces at Castle School.

Alan and I set to sorting the borders and the driveway, while Stephen worked on clearing round the school entrance. Strong work from all, filling a wheelie bin with green waste. Alongside the weeding, a bin vs. broom race brought a bit of added silliness. 🧹

With the grounds looking great and spirits high, we jogged back feeling proud (and rather more dusty!)

We look forward to coming back next week to tackle more 💪

It was digging, digging and more digging at tonight's task!

We were helping SIN Cru prepare their site for an community event. As well as digging a little trench for a pipe, we were tasked with digging a hole for a mini trampoline. All part of a sensory walk, used for wellbeing activity on site.

Despite the rain, the soil was pretty hard, so the mattock did a lot of the heavy lifting. It was very satisfying and we were pros by the end of the evening. ⛏️

Many, many buckets of soil were excavated, so a good workout for us too. 💪

We finished up with a bit of weeding and tidying.

A great first task supporting SIN Cru, and we look forward to returning to help more as the project evolves.
