Summer’s Here! Summer’s Here! Hey Everyone! Summer’s Here! Oh boy does it feel good to be working in GoodGym groups in the sunshine again!

Six intrepid GoodGymmers helped our host Charlotte at one of the Single Homeless Project’s locations to get stuck in and reclaim a lovely garden from the clutch of some feisty weeds.

The Single Homeless project is a frequent host for GoogGym tasks and missions, and have many places across London that can use our help. They do amazing work preventing homelessness and helping vulnerable and socially excluded people to transform their lives. Having an accessible garden to care for and grow veggies and nurture plants in is a really great form of green therapy for their guests. And on a lovely sunny day like today, the Goodgym team certainly felt benefits too.

In just a lunchtime hour we managed to get a great deal done - check out the sweet before and after photos!

See you at the next one!
