Report written by Kate Frain
As part of GoodGym's massive #GGSuperSaturday 10th birthday challenge to organise as many Community Missions as possible (over 50 at the last count), our brilliant GoodGym team tackled the overgrown garden at the fab Gorse Hill Studios which is a hub for all kinds of arts activities for young people.
Massive GoodGym welcome and well done to Maddie and Juanita who joined us for the very first time. Also to Jo who managed to beat the flu to join us and to Mishy and Jo for just being plain awesome. Big thanks for giving up some time on a precious sunny Saturday... YOU ROCK!
We were welcomed to the task by Caroline who explained about the wide range of arts that young people can take part in at the Studio and also what was needed in the garden. Once we got over the excitement of "cabinet of dreams" (the tool shed!) we set to and weeded and tidied the previously hidden borders and planters enjoying the glorious weather while we did it!
We had lots of time for chat as we went and we all felt really made a difference in the hour that we were there.
it's looking loads better already, GoodGym Trafford have smashed it!
The good news is that we are returning to GHS on Wednesday for our group run to finish off the job! Click here to sign up!
After we had patted ourselves on the back, half of us ran back to St M's and were rewarded with finding a cake sale on our return. We can confirm that happiness truly is tea and cake, especially when you've earned it!
Thanks all and see you again soon
