Ding Dong Merrily on High! Five GoodGymers decked the Colchester Borough Homes with boughs of holly through some festive singing. The residents enjoyed joining in, one gentleman even getting involved on his harmonica!

It certainly wasn't a silent night but there were lots of Jingle bells, plus hot chocolate and mince pies!

Special thanks to Emilyfor her musical prowess!

We Wish you a Merry Christmas!

Love GoodGym Colchester xx

Two goodgymers swept and bagged up a tree full of leaves on Tuesday evening.

The residents of Colchester Borough Homes Walnut Tree House now have a clear area for their washing lines and the lawn at the back of the home.

Three GoodGymers returned to Walnut Tree House to help weed an outside area used by the elderly residents for socialising. We hope they enjoy their cup of tea there this afternoon!

A new scheme for our GoodGymers this week, we made our way to Colchester Borough Homes residencies in Five Fields Court where were met by Steve who had already begun the weeding! Out three GoodGymers got to work weeding the paved areas out front, the before and after photos show our efforts and it was nice to see such a difference. We had quite a lot of attention from locals too who were intrigued with what we were doing - always happy for more potential members!

Well done team!

The clouds were threatening rain but luckily didn't let loose during GG time! A new CBH location The clouds were threatening rain but luckily didn't let loose during GG time! A new CBH location for us at GoodGym Colchester. We spent a productive 45 minutes picking litter from hedges, garden and the car park at Grymes Dyke Court and managed to get a fair haul.

Shout out to the residents for being very welcoming and grateful and providing us with non-alcoholic Pimms refreshment (with a top secret ingredient) after the task! We will be back!

And well done team, great job!

A lovely evening for a litter picking task to help out at one of the Colchester Borough Homes residences. We were also tasked with clearing sticks and twigs from the paths to help remove trip hazards for the residents. We managed to avoid the scattered rain showers thankfully and our four GoodGymers did a great job for which Linda at CBH was very thankful. It was also a chance to celebrate Frazer's fantastic achievement at the Paris marathon where he clocked in just under 4 hours! Well done Frazer!
