Three Goodgym-mers sacrificed their lie-in on Saturday morning to clear brambles from some abandoned land.

We met Lara who provided us with shiny new equipment, and shared with us her vision of turning the area into a community garden.

We quickly got to work, hacking away at the brambles. Since we were visible from the main road, we attracted interest from various passer-bys who were really positive about our work and maybe even some volunteers for the next session!

We made a great amount of progress but there is still more to do. We can't wait to come back soon!
