Poison Ivy

Tuesday 20th February

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Tonight, Lucy and I were back at the secret garden doing a spot of weeding and clearing. Highlight of the night was Lucy tackling the Ivy lights, untangling them ready to use. We were also joined by a new community builder, Debbie, who we’ve helped before at Newtown Preshool - she’ll have some projects for us soon!

Mossing Around

Tuesday 12th December 2023

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Tonight, 3 GoodGymers were back helping Newtown Community with some urgent accessibility work. A path had become so covered with Moss that it wasn’t safe for the residents to use without slipping. We tooled up and cleared the area, and you can see the pictures for yourself! We made a huge difference!

Fantastic Mr Fox

Tuesday 12th October 2021

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Hi there!

What a fantastic evening we had at the Secret Garden!

8 GoodGymers attended this evenings task, a great turn out and our most since the summer. It was lovely to be back at a community garden that we've helped before, clearing up, weeding, brushing to get it back to where it needs to be. A huge shout out to Rosie, who has now achieved 12 straight months of missions, fantastic work!

We had our first group run in ages! A smallish distance to blow the cobwebs off!

A absolute highlight and a first for us was the appearance of a fox! A regular visitor to the secret garden, the fox has been cared for and fed and just sat there watching us on the task. We all stood and watched him and forgot to take our group picture haha.

A really important part of our missions is the social impact they have, and it was so nice to see some friends that we hadn't seen in a while, catching up on what we've been watching on tv, what fitness activities we've been doing (like a marathon walk by Rachel)

I look forward to seeing you all on future tasks, have a looks what's on here
