A band of 8 merry Goodgymers came together, some at speed from Hope Street, some from across the road, some by hour and a half bus journey and all in good spirits.

Why were we in good spirits? Because we knew the importance of Sunflowers, the great work they do to support those with cancer and their families and it’s great to help those who help others. Our task was to clear furniture and to tidy the area at the side of the building so that they can host a Christmas party this weekend.

With pivots, squats and contortion the first task of moving a heavy bench out of the way was sorted. Next up was more team lifting of large fence panels. Thank you Roz for the pun! With shovels and spades, Jess, Jo, Roz and Heetu cleared the soil from the ugly storage sack and filled up the plant beds. Steph and Chris cleared the ground so it was clean underfoot for the party goers.

With the tasks completed in no time, an impromptu weeding session started as we hadn’t expended enough energy just yet. The extra work tidied up an area staff use on their breaks.

With promises of painting tasks for us no doubt we’ll be meeting Bobby soon again. In the meantime keep in mind the upcoming Birkenhead parkrun and task in early December.

Well done for coming out in the cold and helping a great charity
