Last night, 10 of us met at Charlton House for the run, with a few heading straight to Thomas Tallis School ready to get stuck into the task.

Our icebreaker was: What's one thing you can cook or bake really well? Judging by the answers, next week's picnic is shaping up to be a feast 😋

When we arrived, Kim welcomed us and led us to a collection of second-hand school uniforms that needed sorting. Our mission was to size everything up, organise the good-quality items into the correct categories, and separate out anything that wasn't quite cut from the right cloth.

We got straight to work and, in just half an hour, had made short work of the mountain of shirts, jumpers and PE kit. It was a refreshingly low-sweat task, but we were kept busy, dotting the i's, folding the tees, and making sure everything was neatly stacked and ready for its next owner.

With the crates sorted and tucked back into storage, it was time for a quick run back, a stretch, and then we buttoned up another successful Wednesday evening.

After all, when you've got 10 GoodGymers working together, it's easy to make shirt work of sizing 'em up.

Congratulations to Mark on earning your nice shiny red Tshirt! You're already part of the furniture 🤗

Until next time!

It was back to Senior's this week for our monthly visit and as always there was a variety of tasks for us to get stuck into. They're always tasks that the garden team would struggle to do themselves but thats where were come in to help!!

It was a straightforward run over other than we were all feeling a bit warm in the humid weather. With everyone meeting outside at Senior's it was time to head in and see what was in store for us.

The tasks for the evening focused on:

• Cutting back brambles around the Yucca Plant and the pond
• Digging over the flower and vegetable beds
• Cutting back Thistle Plants
• Watering the garden
• Filling up the water butts near the poly-tunnel

We made our way through the list and it was soon time to be on our way. Just enough time to be treated to some flapjacks and also sandwiches that would have gone to waste!

Grounds for Celebration: 100 Good Deeds

Congrats to Lindsay who achieved a huge 100 good deeds!! We're looking forward to seeing you sporting those wings over the next couple of weeks!
