7 GoodGymmers visited Liverpool’s Irish Centre to help with their post lockdown renovations.
Despite the gardening tools being locked away and the key missing, each member of the team was given a task so we could stay socially distant and maximise our efforts with what we had.
Claire was pruning in the garden with some mighty shears (scissors), Christine painted behind the bar with Tim paining in the office area behind the bar. Char attacked a spiderweb laden vestibule area before paining and Sam rescued a bee (it counts as ‘work’). Lorna and Pauline cleaned out the courtyard area that was covered in Leaves and dirt!
The team then chipped in to move a big pile of peat and branches to the bins to be taken away. Good job team.

The Liverpool Irish Centre is a community and social hub at the heart of the Irish community on Merseyside. Originally situated at 127 Mount Pleasant, we moved to our current location in 1999. Our mission is to promote Irish Heritage & Culture, provide a space for this to happen, and support members of the Irish Community in doing so. Not only that, we serve the wider community too and seek to bring people from all backgrounds together. The Centre serves the thriving Irish and local community, supporting a range of groups from Irish dancing, music and language to mental health awareness and well-being. The Centre promotes culture, heritage and creativity through plays, pantomimes, reading groups and partnerships with local writers and writing groups. We're keen to support the communities of Liverpool — the place that opened its door for the Irish in their time of need. We partner with local groups and communities, offer opportunities to local people and support local businesses.
