Today we supported Home-Start Portsmouth with an epic garden upgrade for the Outdoor Explorers groups.

Our main task was to destroy some flower beds, replant the rosemary bushes and construct two "mounds' for the children to run around on. Despite nobody having any precious mound-building experience our efforts paid off - they look fab! Hopefully the new turf will survive tonight's rain!

In true GoodGym style we got stuck in helping with other jobs, including painting, planting and tidying.

Everyone at Home-Start were so grateful for our help and have said they couldn't have managed without us. Thank you, you absolute legends!

Area Activator for GoodGym Portsmouth. I swear like a sailor, burp like a foghorn. Human A - Z of Portsmouth. Ultimately charming.
