Pruning of a shrub and a creeping ivy for Miss S (wk2)
For years, this lady took great pride in caring for her garden, but at 70 she is no longer able to manage it alone due to a recent arm injury and knee problems.. Living with anxiety and depression, she feels increasingly distressed and overwhelmed watching the garden she once loved fall into disrepair. What may be a few hours of gardening for volunteers could have a huge impact on her wellbeing, restoring not just her outdoor space, but her sense of pride and peace of mind. If you can spare some time, please help make a real difference to her life.

Before GoodGym I always lost motivation to stick at running or the gym but now I run two or three times a week.
Running with GoodGym is great because I get fit, do good and get to hang with a load of awesome people.
