We celebrated the 7th birthday of GoodGym Leeds by helping to tidy up the garden and outdoor space at Cardigan Community Centre. We split into groups and planted bulbs, weeded, pruned bushes, re-potted plants, and picked litter!

We then finished off the session with a birthday celebration, starring a gorgeous and delicious cake from Jason! Thanks Jason!! 🎉

Welcome to Matthew and Fraser, and welcome back to Kat!

Malcolm gave us clear instructions to shovel out all the grit down to the blue membrane, along two parking bays, where a new path will be lain. The three of us got cracking! Luckily the ground was not too compacted and we could heave it into barrows. Wet soil and gravel made for some heavy loads that were to be piled up, a way off, down the slope. This would be recycled later on the project. This was a thorough work out for quads, glutes, core and upper body! Who needs an expensive gym?! As we began to peak the blue plastic sheeting, we were encouraged that we could complete the task, which we did! All that was left to do was to neaten up the edges and then consume tea and cake in the club house! The club could not have been more grateful to Goodgym. Huge thanks to Andrea and Hannah for showing true Northern Female Grit to get this worthwhile task done! PS The stone walling of a previous task looks champion too!

Another day at Planet Food. We are all still missing Penny... and her amazing selfie powers to get us all in in one shot! We managed to sort out the selfie issue, but there was no sorting out the two chatty men!

The lovely Avril, came out to see the progress we are making and she couldn't be happier. All weeding sorted and today we even started planting.
