Back at Beechwood!

For our first post lockdown task, GoodGym Stockport had the pleasure of helping Beechwood Cancer Care with a 'boxfit' task to shift donated books from their centre and load them into vans for transportation to their shop site.

Fast forward a couple of years and we were back at Beechwood for another awesome task. This time to help them to cut back a huge, overhanging bush and tend to their outside area.

After a sunny 2km run through the back streets and bridges of Edgeley, we arrived (sweaty but with smiles) to Beechwood's Adswood Centre. Armed with mowers, sheers, brushes and smiles, we got stuck straight in.

We divided and conquered. Rob took on the overhanging bush ...and won!

Whilst Sian tackled the jungle inspired lawns.

We were merrily cheered on by members of the local community and what a transformation it was!
