11:00 - 13:00We've got a very special mission on Sunday 12 October.
Following on from the recent success of our first clean up event, we're retrunign to Gale Street to continue this vital work to get the garden ready to open.
There is a range of waste items amongst the undergrowth - including carpet, mattress coverings and conveyor belts from the old Ford factory. We need some extra muscle to help clear the space!
Our group sessions are open to everyone - if you're new to GoodGym please sign up and come along - we are inclusive and friendly, and we'll be pleased to see you!!
🧤 What We’ll Do
Remove waste items from the garden area behind the growing beds
Work together as a big team, looking out for each other and keeping each other safe
Enjoy refreshments provided!
No gardening or litter picking experience needed! All tools and guidance will be provided on the day.

Facing the Co-op, walk down the alleyway directly to the right of the shop. Arrive at the gate with a green sign that says “Ebaha Allotment Site”. Turn left and walk along the alleyway that runs along the back of the shops. After a few yards, look on the right hand side for another gate with a small red sign on the right hand gate that says “No Parking, Access Required, Thank You”
