This evening we ventured to the west of Oxford to help Dean Court Community Centre spruce up their outside space ready for re-opening as restrictions continue to lift.

Twelve Goodgymers were quite the team of weeders, sweepers, litter-pickers and tidy-up-ers!

We weeded some very precious planters, removed grass from around the fencing, gave the carpark area a good sweep, pruned back some unruly budlia and did a thorough litter-pick around the site.

All this was achieved in excellent time meaning we could stop for a well earned cake break and sup some squash provided by the ladies at the centre.

We all then set off into the cold sunshine, some of us to run up a hill in the name of fitness!!

Congratulations and loud hurrahs to Stu for his 50th good deed and James for his 10th.
