KEEN are an award-winning youth-led organisation. They create inclusive projects, and support and promote inclusion in Oxfordshire. The KEEN participants are a group of children and young people with a wide range of disabilities - they love gardening and allotment sessions provide benefits to their wellbeing, time outside and the chance to gain new skills and new friends.
The KEEN team are unable to take on the more physically demanding tasks necessary to prepare the allotment for the 2024 growing season, so they called in the GoodGym flash mob to help.
We've never been to the Elder Stubbs allotment site before, so it was lovely to see the Restore and KEEN plots as well as the fun driftwood sculptures. The main task for the evening was to weed the vegetable beds and dig them over a bit ready to receive the seedlings ready to go in the ground which are currently housed at KEEN's base near South Park.
An hour and many mozzie bites later we'd made a significant difference to weed quantities, which will allow KEEN to get participants in to start gardening as soon as possible!

With light evenings comes the return of tasks in Oxford's green spaces, and one of our favourites is Aston's Eyot. Tucked between the Iffley Road and the river, the Eyot was a rubbish dump in the 19th Century, but it's now a thriving nature reserve managed by the Friends of Aston's Eyot.
Wednesday's task was nettle removal. Scything and pulling the nettles allows light to get through for wild flowers, and removing them reduces the richness of the soil, which wild flowers prefer. This should all help increase the biodiversity of the area. Scything is always a fan favourite at GoodGym, so there were plenty of volunteers for that task. Henry very competently assembled the new scythe, and Axelle did great work pruning back an elder tree which was getting a little thuggish. Some of the GoodGymers were lucky enough to spot 2 muntjac deer on the way home - it's always surprising and delightful how much nature can thrive yards from busy city streets.
Great work team!

We have been teaming up with the Falcon boat club for river cleans for a few years now: a lovely partnership where we have fun, do good for the environment and learn new skills.
Unfortunately, after the wettest February on record, the river conditions weren't safe for less-experienced canoeists this time, so we adjusted our plans. GoodGymers split into 3 teams to tackle the litter on different parts of the Thames Path, with a trio of pro-canoeists on the water collecting the full litter sacks and taking them back to the boat club. We collected a literal tonne of trash, with bikes, shoes, cans, bottles, hub caps, and (fan-favourite) pants all forming part of our stash.
The sun came out in time to enjoy tea and snacks on the boat club terrace at the end.
Great work as always team!
