Richmond Report written by Adam Stephens
Seven GoodGymers turned out for our monthly visit to the Richmond Furniture Scheme.
First off, we welcomed Alice, who was attending her first ever Richmond Good Gym task.
We were assigned by RFS’s Volunteer Coordinator Lucy to create a sitting area for the RFS staff to enjoy bench-ficial lunches in the upcoming summer months ahead.
With this in mind, we set about moving the donated bicycles into the recycling pile and to make it easier for them to be transferred to another charity, Re-Circulate, an organisation which train prisoners to refurbish bikes and equip them with technical skills that they can use to gain employment.
Once done, we cleared the surrounding area of rubbish and slotted the garden bench into place.
We also created an additional seating place for others to sit and enjoy! A job well done.

Finally! The first sunny Saturday morning task at Ham Lands!
A large group including 8 GG members and other volunteers gathered for our monthly mission maintaining the natural habitats of the Ham Lands, and the difference of a sunny day was evident in the smiles and energy of everyone present as we set about our task for the morning.
This session saw us tackling some large areas of brambles. Armed with loppers, shears and secateurs we split into groups and got to work.
The time whizzed by as we made rapid progress, taming the wild bramble patches and creating a huge pile of cuttings as we went. It was a very satisfying mission, made all the more enjoyable by coffees and snacks at the Swiss bakery afterwards!
Next session at Ham Lands will be on 11th May: keep an eye out for the listing and sign up!
