The Sixth Fence

Bexley News

• Well done to Matt and Luke for getting a special MENCAP award yesterday at the Myra Garrett 10k race! They both smashed it!

Tonight was a lovely warm evening and great weather for a quick run to the task! As there was going to be a lot of painting to do, we started out with a quick warm up before heading off towards Adelaide House. We had 5 runners and 2 walkers. Upon arrival, all the tools for the task had been set out. The task was to paint the fence grey and the benches brown. We each grabbed a paintbrush and pot of paint and started work! By this time, the walkers had arrived and they joined Team Bench as there were quite a few benches which needed painting. After painting and chatting, we stepped back to admire our work, looking at how much painting we had got done. We had definitely made a difference but had run out of time to finish all the benches and the whole fence. We cleaned all the paintbrushes and tidied up before saying our goodbyes and heading off back to base.

Tonight was Emmanuel's last GoodGym for a few weeks as he is off to Italy for his sisters wedding. We cant wait to hear all about it and look forward to sharing the Italian snacks when he returns! 🍫

Next week we are up at the Greenwich and Bexley Hospice shop. Find out more and sign up here

Good work tonight Bexley! Have a good week!
