7 GoodGymer did an excellent job pulling up some tough weeds with the wonderful Wonford Planters and delivering community leaflets along some long roads!

It was a lovely sunny evening and we had the great pleasure of having a tourist joining us: Sally from GG Camden! It was great having you along and we were all so impressed to hear you had walked all the way to Exeter from Exmouth to join us!

Not only did we have a GoodGym tourist with us, we also had Ellie from Exeter Connect with us. She took some photos and little films that will be used for their launch later on this summer. A great community initiative!

Our tasks this evening was to help Wonford Planters with some gardening and also deliver some leaflets about a new Health & Wellbeing Hub that hopefully will be built in the area. We quickly divided the group in two groups and set off working.

We got a full-body workout whilst doing good!

The gardening group did a fantastic job, pulling up some great big weeds, really working those arms! The leafleting group worked their legs a bit more, clocking up a lot of steps. To complete the evening we finished of with a core session in the park nearby. You guys all smashed it! What a great night!

On Sunday we have a community litter pick with Exe Nordic Walkers, it would be great to have you along! Over the next few weeks our lovely taskforce will lead our sessions as I am away on holiday. Have the best of times and I cant wait to see you all when I get back!
