10 goodgymers out tonight, ready to restore harmony at a children's hub in Hillfields.
Unfortunately the outdoor space currently seems to be used as a dumping ground but with GoodGym's help it can be transformed! I'm calling this project Harmony Haven and to kick things off we had to clear the lot. Everyone pitched in to clear the broken items and remove the mess including leaves, twigs and litter. We gathered it all in one spot ready for next weeks skip.
We raked, picked up litter and swept our way to uncover a clear pathway and patio which will look great after a good jet wash. Great prep ready for us to return next week to to work some more magic! On our way home we had time for m a quick hill sprint fitness session, so an excellent all round work out this eve.
Brilliant effort everyone! Hope to see you all again next week.

Tonight was amazing with 14 GoodGymers turning up, we love it at the Food Union allotments don't we gang?! We also welcomed back Jill for her second good deed, yey!
Jackie, James, Nigel and Stuart had arranged to meet us at the allotments, Megan and Tasha took a nice walk and the rest of the group enjoyed a sunny run to the task. Great to be out enjoying the nice weather and lighter nights!
We hit the allotments, facing 5 unruly beds crying out for attention. In 45 minutes we very nearly aced the job that would have taken them several hours. With weeding and composting we made a huge improvement and Marc was very happy with what we got done. Team GG Cov, smashing it!
Next Tuesday we will be at Harmony Haven which is a family hub in Hillfields https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/harmony-haven-garden-revival

The garden is well used by our Residents and this will enable them to continue to socialise outside and sit and enjoy their outdoor space.

On GoodGym Coventry's 5th birthday, 8 GoodGymers met at the Foleshill Library to support with their garden project. Our task for the evening was to shift three tonnes of soil from the pavement outside to the garden area to create a community garden space.
With three wheelbarrows, shovels and some GoodGym magic, we made quick work of moving the soil and spreading it into position by the light of the moon (and some phone torches!), and lots of weeds were removed from the borders too.
Well done all! We will be back at the library soon for more soil shifting and perhaps some digging next time too.

Woo hoo to Maddie for her 50th good deed last night!
This was our second leafleting session supporting Myton with spreading the word about a couple of fundraising events. We managed to deliver another 350 leaflets and covered 5.2km which was brill.
We wrapped up the session early to treat ourselves to a birthday meal celebrating 5 years of GoodGym greatness!
