Today the gang were back at Belle Isle Park to carry on helping maintain the area. We started by admiring the new wildflower area that we had worked on a few weeks ago, taking in the efforts all whilst having ice lollies (thanks Lucy!). Then we got to work moving cut grass, paving the way for future wildflower work. We're back at the park next week if you want to join!

A massive welcome to thank you to Lila, who joined us on her first GoodGym session today!

Today we had our gardening gloves on for a great task at West Exe School. They’re in the process of creating a new forest school, and invited us along to help start clearing the grounds.

Strimming weeds, removing brambles, felling small trees and clearing ivy was all part of the task tonight, a very good workout and good to see just how much a small group can do in 90 mins! Keep an eye out for more work with the school as the project progresses!

Today the gang were back at the secret garden to lend a hand with some well-needed maintenance to the green space. With the weeds taking over, we got to work clearing as others trimmed hedges and painted a gate.

Today GoodGym was on-hand to help set up the annual Book Market, hosted by Exeter City of Literature. I was there to help unload vans, put up equipment, assist vendors and be on hand for anything physical. The event was packed, great to see members of the public coming to meet authors.

InExeter arranged a community clean up day in north and south streets in Exeter. Lots of students attended plus business owners and volunteers. Weeding, painting of planters and a general tidy up made the streets look much better.

Today 3 GoodGymers were out assisting Marypole and Mincinglake Allotments. Our task this week was to help shift soil from some disabled beds. Joined by some of the community we had a good chain of loading and unloading wheelbarrows, shifting the huge mound in great time!
