9 GoodGymers headed back to the Meadows Foodbank in Nottingham last night to help with a variety of tasks. It’s always a pleasure to visit this project and, as usual, we were warmly welcomed by Mark who set us to work with a shopping list of food to bring down from the upstairs storeroom to the shelves downstairs.
Meanwhile, some of us swept and mopped the floors and helped crush some cardboard for recycling.
After an hour’s work we stopped to enjoy a little cake courtesy of Leah whose birthday it was – what better way to celebrate that with a GoodGym community mission (and sorry we forgot to sing Happy Birthday at the end!!).
We were joined by Harriet, Alex and Juan on their first GoodGym session – we hope you enjoyed it and we will see you again soon!

A motley crew of GoodGymers headed over to the Sneinton Primary School allotment for another morning of renovations.
Most of the team headed up to the top of the plot where we've previously cleared bushes and bricks and created a dead hedge by weaving bamboo sticks Kathryn had brought along. We then moved loads of dead branches and brambles over to make the "hedge" itself. Hopefully the frogs we saw hopping around will move in over the next few days. Kathryn explained the benefit of this kind of boundary lies in the fact that you've always got somewhere to put trimmings as it slowly rots away, and that it creates a habitat for wildlife.
While this was going on, Rachel weeded some of the children's flowerbeds and Tom pulled out some very deeply rooted brambles. Oliver did some strimming and Natalie got heartily stuck in to moving bricks around to create some borders around the fruit trees.
Some of the team even decided to stay on a bit past 12 to finish the job!
Thanks again to all who came, as Kathryn said, "you guys are legends"! Apologies that I forgot to grab the group pic from Kathryn, I'll upload it once I get it!
