Tonight, six dedicated GoodGymers came together for a successful session of Balsam Bashing in Happy Valley.
Armed with gloves, determination, and a shared love for nature, the group spent over an hour clearing the invasive Himalayan Balsam from the area.
This fast-growing plant, known for outcompeting native species, was carefully removed by hand to help restore balance to the local ecosystem. We worked efficiently and with great spirit, managing to clear a significant section of the valley.
It was great to welcome Jonny for his first GoodGym task and welcome Jamie who's recently relocated from GoodGym Cardiff.

Laura and I volunteered at Fletcher Moss parkrun event number 258. 476 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course on a pleasant August morning 🏃♂️🏃🏼♀️👣Lots of buggy runners and dogs! 🐶🐾🐕
Laura was park walker. Ben, ably assisted by Juno, helped with the pre event course check & set up, then marshalled at Mount Fletcher (#3). We had a small contingent of cheers and clappers to encourage the participants back up the slope for their second lap!
22 volunteers helped in all 🦺🌳

Tonight we returned to St Matthews Church for the first time since 2019!
Hazel, Ben and Laura got to work painting the back room in the church a beautiful shade of light blue.
The high ceilings and arches were an added challenge, but Hazel took the ladders whilst Ben navigated the extendable pole with roller and we transformed the room in no time.

Productive session at What If? in Stockport this evening for Julie, Laura, Niamh, and Ben!
Braving the stormy weather 🌧 we split into 2 groups:
Directed by Pauline and Aoife, we managed to put a first coat of green and pink water-based protective paint on the dry bits of the planters, managing not to cause too many splashes. Even with the small brush, Niamh expertly filled in all the nooks and crannies. Julie was in the garden, giving it a clear up after the hot spell of weather.
After Clearing up, we had a brew and some Moroccan chickpea salad 🥗 before heading home.
