We had a great session at St. Martin’s Church, with 6 of us sanding and painting the lower ground corridor. It was brilliant to welcome Javis and Zoe, both doing their first mission with Goodgym! Some of us rolled the wider wall spaces, some brushed paint into those nooks and crannies, while others had the ceilings covered! Fantastic team effort with the whole corridor looking fresh with a full first coat of paint by the end of the mission. 😊

Great task all set up and ready by Karen when I arrived! Lots of fun climbing ladders into the attic to help clear dust and bits of debris. I got going soon after 6pm and Thomas arrived for the second half, for his first ever Goodgym session!

Carpets were swept, odds and ends were cleared with litter pickers and roof panels were lightly vacuumed!

Fascinating building and such a welcoming team - lots to get stuck in with and it was great to help the team get started with this attic task.

It was a fantastic evening at St. Martin’s Church, with lots of painting to be done down an office corridor, leading into the outdoor area of a previous gardening task!

The shade was ‘Egyptian Cotton’ - hence ‘greige’… it’s a lovely fresh shade mixing beige and grey. So, before long our rollers were rolling and our paintbrushes were brushing!

Lots of tidy, intricate work around light switches, bannisters and along the masking tape borders. Plus some good coats on the main walls. We had a brilliant team and enjoyed welcoming Sophie to her first task.

Rich from the church helped us along with our painting and gave us a lovely little tour of other areas needing a fresh lick of paint. A few of us then headed into the city centre for a social and got a taste of Birmingham Cocktail Weekend’s vibes!

Stay tuned for the next task and our Christmas social going in the diary. Thank you again to everyone for helping out, it was wonderful teamwork!
