"What's that Skippy? There's a cottage down at Interact Creek that needs clearing?"

Seven Goodgymers donned their Hi-vis and trainers to brave the blustering wind and run to help Interact clear their cottage ready for their next chapter as they continue to provide a beautiful service to young people in and around Chelmsford.

We welcomed Nicola for her first good deed for Goodgym (woohoo) and Joe set the pace to lead the way down to Moulsham Mill.

The lovely Susie met us and explained the task and told us about the wonderful work Interact do. We were asked to clear out the house and fill the skip outside. But tonight was bittersweet as many items held sentimental value and the urge to reuse and recycle had to be balanced with the need to clear out the cottage.

It did not take long for our team to fill the skip and we ended the task taking the saved items over to the old Mill in the outback of Chelmsford. There was a sense of achievement as we ran back to base with our very own young Joey!!!

Struth mate this report has tenuous links!

For those of you totally confused by the title just watch this and sing Skippy the trash can-go-phew: https://youtu.be/hByob-5pPEs

Enjoy the social everyone: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/goodgym-vs-beer and last but not least a huge congratulations to Jenny and Becca for a romantic announcement and a significant achievement.
