What a lovely evening over the river at Marble Hill Play Centres. GoodGym Richmond haven't been there since before COVID and most of us hadn't been there at all, so it was a lovely surprise to discover this large play area in Marble Hill Park. Especially so given that trustees Steph and Kelly were there to meet us and made us feel so welcome immediately!

A huge hello to Danielle and Basia who joined us for their first ever GoodGym task and got stuck straight in with helping to rake bark, litter pick and weed thistles and saplings across the play area.

At the end of our time, we took a step back to take a photo and could really see the result of many hands at work. We worked out that the session would be equal to a full day of non-stop work for one energetic person, what a great example of what GoodGym can help to achieve in just 45 minutes!

We will be back there soon, keep an eye on listings. Thank you Marble Hill Play Centres!

Jp, Susannah, Sabina, Manuela and Adam attended our quarterly visit to the Richmond Furniture Scheme.

We we were tasked by RFS Volunteer Coordinator Lucy with raking up and clearing the overgrown ivy, weeds and brambles in the yard. This makes it more presentable and accessible for would be customers visiting the Scheme.

Needless to say the ivy and brambles caused much rakes and pains, but as seasoned Good Gymmer's we were able to rake this off and re-leaf RFS of this yard work.
