Along with two little visitors, tonight the group ran up to Bedford Fields to do various jobs including edge shearing, mulch moving and weeding. It was a big group so we made fast work & got lots done. The two little visitors enjoyed the run but not the gardening as much, but we made it work! They may stay at home in future! Great work all!

Last night was our summer social & so we ran up to Beckett Park to have some fun and games. We got into two teams 'Helen's Hillbillies' & 'Canada' to battle it out with some school sports day type activities! We competed in egg & spoon, 3 legged & sack races & then threw hoops, bean bags & it wouldn't be a summer social without a game of human hungry hippos!! Some highlights were Christian powering ahead in the sack race, Alice & Amy winning the 3 legged race (good team work girls) & Katie falling in the sack race (sorry Katie)! We finished off with a game of rounders and then the final results were in...it was a draw!!

After all the fun, we had a picnic to finish off with a lovely selection of savoury & sweet treats. Thanks all, what a great evening!

Welcome to newcomers Amy & Tracey & congratulations to Katie who has reached 100 good deeds! You're awesome :)

Last night, we ran up to Meanwood Valley Farm on a soggy evening and split into 3 groups. Rachel, Helen, Chloe and I were turning the rather smelly compost, this was a good workout but needless to say, we all headed home for baths afterwards. Christian and Jason who both did their 50th missions (well done guys) worked on some string beans & the rest did some dibbing, to get the ground ready for leeks. We loved it up at the farm and can't wait to head back! We finished off by posing as leeks and various beans for pictures :)

Great work all!

Welcome to Marcia and Lauren on their first sessions.

This morning, 7 of us met in the pouring rain at Beckhill Community Garden to saw & hammer posts into the ground to create a dead hedge. Helen pruned tomato plants and Elspeth did some weeding and in hour we'd achieved what we set out to do. Good work all.

Welcome to Helen & Aurora who joined us for the first time. Hopefully see you again.

What an eventful night we had last night at GoodGym Leeds!

The group ran up to Beckhill Community Garden to help them weed, woodchip and tidy up. At the start of the session a group of local children had found a dog wandering around alone. Luckily, he was a friendly old gentleman and he let me pick him up. After trying to find an owner and having no luck, we decided to take him to a local vet so that they could scan him for a microchip. Jason luckily wasn't far from home so ran up to get his car & drove me and the dog to the vets. Whilst the vet found a chip, the number was out of service, so I was about to bring him back and see which GoodGymer could keep him for the night when Helen called saying they'd found the owner...phew! The dogs name was Charlie & he'd had quite the adventure! Safe to say he was happy to be reunited with his mum.

Meanwhile, Helen had fixed a little girls bike whilst we'd been gone and the others actually did the job we were there to do!

What a dramatic evening spent helping the whole community. Good work team!

Welcome back to Naomi :)
