Supporting Poverty, Environment and Unemployment in the borough of Richmond

It was a beautiful, warm summer evening as 8 GoodGymers came together to help spruce up the classic red phone boxes in our local area. This week we were partnering with Box Walks, a charity which develops nature-based, adventure walks using Britain's grade II listed phone boxes as destination points on the walks, which unlock interactive content and activities.
After meeting at the Tap Tavern, we walked over to Richmond Green and met task owner Emma at the two phone boxes close to the "Ted Lasso" pub. These boxes were Bertie (with a focus on biodiversity) and Sophie (sustainable food). We tried out the quiz questions on biodiversity, then set to cleaning Bertie and Sophie with dusters, cloths and cleaners. Birthday boy Chris scaled a ladder to clean the roofs of the boxes.
We then followed the route of one of the Box Walks up to the Vineyard to find Freddy (fungi) and to St Matthias Church where Tilly (trees) has her home. Each got a thorough clean and featured in a few shots of the group. It was a fun task and we look forward to doing it again!
