Pop-up at St Petrock's!
3 goodgymmers helped out on a fab project this afternoon.
St Petrock's homeless charity in Exeter is opening a pop-up re-use, training and education hub/charity shop this week and we helped them get it ready for opening day.
The new hub will provide volunteering and training opportunities for their existing clients and education for the community around homelessness.
While Florence and Craig emptied a huge tub full of soil and moved it to the back of the building, Rachel spray painted display units. We then went inside to paint doors and skirting, polish handles, frame photographs and more.
It was great to be help out today and we hope their new venture goes really well!

Help build Petrock's Place
We have been invited to assist Petrock’s Place this Thursday afternoon to sort and prepare donations before their launch next week. We will also be assisting with general, low-key building maintenance, painting and cleaning and any other odd jobs as needed.
A brief introduction will be given so we know how to sort appropriately.
Please bring your own gloves. See you there!

Making Newtown pre-school good as new for the start of term
3 GoodGymmers spent a beautiful, sunny evening helping out with various tasks at Newtown Community Pre-school in order to make the playground, garden and car park ready for the start of the new term. We got loads done in a short space of time despite there being only 3 of us- thanks for all your hard work guys!

Newtown Preschool Tidy Up
General tidying of the preschool garden and outside area. Possible tasks include painting, weeding, and moving some large pieces of wood to a different part of the outside space. Kids start back at nursery the next day so 15 minutes at the end to be used to ensure everything fully tidied away and ready for the children! Please bring gardening gloves.

Putting our backs in to it for the bees
5 GoodGymmers were warmly welcomed at Newtown Community Association to prepare an area of ground for a wildflower garden. Members of the association are planning to plant a wildflower garden to increase biodiversity, attracting bees and butterflies. They have been struggling due to small volunteer numbers, so we were able to help out by lifting the grass and weeds to leave space for seeds to be planted. Judith and her friend Margaret from the association were fantastic, treating us to snacks and drinks and even a specially created banner (a first for GoodGym Exeter I think!)

Wonderful Wonford Weeding
8 GoodGymmers spent an hour clearing a huge planter of weeds, nettles, grass and thistles. It is now ready to be taken over by the local school who will hopefully be planting something colourful to brighten up the street. We worked hard and filled loads of bags with garden waste in a short space of time.
Thanks to Emma for joining us for her first Exeter mission after recently moving to the South West from London...we hope to see you again soon. And goodbye to Claudia who is sadly moving back to Barcelona...we will miss you a lot and hope you come back and visit soon!
