***Four goodgymers had a fab session supporting Clothing Coventry. *

As the weather was really hot, and we also had a few donations to take down, we opted for a leisurely walk down to the warehouse. Once we arrived, we were soon greeted by Jo and Katie who showed us what needed doing tonight. We focused on making up clothings packs for children and size checking clothes. We then had a short, chatty walk back to the city centre in the lovely June sunshine.

Great session tonight everyone.

9 Coventry Goodgymers walked, ran and cycled to the Primary Plot, Earlsdon Primary School's allotment on a beautifully sunny summers' evening.

Tasks for the evening included weeding around the whole plot, tidying up the hedgerow, using wheelbarrows to move woodchippings to keep those pesky weeds at bay and getting the area ready for a busy summer term of activities on the primary plot! Well done and fantastic work everyone, we achieved lots this evening and we look forward to visiting again soon to see what the children have been planting, and maybe do a bit more weeding!

Same time next week?

This month's visit to Carriers of hope , all of our GoodGym volunteer crew, joined forces with the lively CLM for a cracking day of sorting action. The warehouse hummed with energy as we shifted stacks of clothes, household goods, and essentials, organized donations like Tetris masters, and tallied inventory with ninja-like precision. With GoodGym and CLM bringing laughs and muscle, Great efforts we're buzzing to keep the hope flowing with our monthly missions!

9 Coventry Goodgymers walked, ran and cycled to the Earlsdon Primary School allotment for a lovely evening in the sunshine. Our tasks for the evening were to dig, weed and rake in and around the raised beds so that they are ready for planting and continue working in the community allotment to get it ready for use!

Fantastic work everyone, we will back back again during the summer to support with maintaining the allotment so it can be used by the primary school children. Welcome to Mobi for your first session, see you again soon!

GoodGym Report: Community Garden Project at Team Springboard

On Saturday, a team of dedicated GoodGym volunteers gathered at the Springboard community garden to lend a helping hand in creating a greener, more inviting space for all. With the sun shining down on us, we tackled various essential tasks to enhance the garden’s beauty and functionality.

Throughout the session, volunteers took on a range of activities, including weeding to clear unwanted growth, mowing to maintain tidy pathways and planting to introduce fresh greenery and flowers. Additionally, we diligently worked on sorting composting, ensuring that garden waste was managed effectively to support sustainability.

The atmosphere was filled with teamwork and enthusiasm as we made significant progress, transforming the space into a well-kept and thriving garden. The warm sunshine added to the positive energy, making it a perfect day for community work.

Of course, no GoodGym gathering is complete without some well-earned refreshments! We took a well-deserved break, enjoying hot drinks along with an assortment of homemade cakes, biscuits, and snacks—a delightful treat that added to the sense of camaraderie. To top it off, we even had the chance to sample kohlrabi, introducing some of us to a fresh, crunchy new flavor.

Our efforts at Springboard not only contributed to the local environment but also strengthened community bonds, reminding us of the power of collective action in making a difference. GoodGym remains committed to supporting projects that foster health, sustainability, and connection.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who participated in this rewarding day—your dedication continues to make a lasting impact!
