We had all GoodGym modes of travel in action with a walking group, running group and cycling group heading to Admiral Jellicoe House for our task this evening.

Continuing our work from a weekend visit earlier in the month, we had even more bright colours to help liven up the dementia garden for residents.

Emmanuel received an introduction to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert from Jen and Harry, as well as career and financial advice from our very own Richard and Judy!

Dave was distracted by a local cricket match taking place on the field behind the garden, luckily Val got him back on track by handing over the GG Red paint brush.

In just under an hour we covered 11 fence panels. Top prize goes to Andy for his precision work and perfect timing! Well done, everyone, what a wonderful, colourful evening!

What started out as a slightly sketchy task - "We need to meet a man called Alan outside The Bridge Centre to buy some bark" evolved into a very pleasant evening.

Our rendezvous was a success, and after hulking bags of woodchip through the shopping centre, we filled in all of the gaps in the new planters to reduce the number of weeds coming through. Garden Goddess Judy noticed the plants were in need of a drink, so with a bit of help from the Security Team, we started a chain of bucket-filling and watering.

As Vicki beautifully put it, it was like we were putting the plants to bed for the evening. So cute!

With a bit of time to spare, we headed over to Spoons for a drink and a catch-up. I feel more tasks should have a pub stop!

Kudos to GoodGymers who exercised outdoors today - there was plenty of weather to contend with.

And bravo to the clever ones who managed to dodge the worst of the weather and spotted rainbows instead!

Portsmouth GoodGymers were motivated to run, walk or cycle wherever they were, and whenever they could fit it in.

On-island; off-island; or even in Ireland... the miles were eaten up and the Get Fit mantra was fulfilled.

We had a fab turn-out for our first group run of the year, thank you all for coming on such a grotty evening!

Emily had provided us with a list of jobs to complete, so we quickly got to work.

Team Clean got to work in the kitchen and the toilets, which truly had their sparkle back after receiving the GoodGym treatment. Meanwhile, Harry and Dave travelled around the whole site cleaning down the window sills.

Team Shuffle and Shift, meanwhile, brought through some big boxes of clothes ahead of Spark's big clothing sale at the weekend. Some fabulous and interesting outfits were found and a few were purchased!

Rain, sleet and cold weather ensured we were efficent in this little litter pick. 3 bags of rubbish were collected from the palms and rosemary so a good job done!
