This morning 2 GoodGymer's cycled to Earlham Library.

We joined the Friends of Earlham Library to help clear leaves from the garden.

With 5 large trees on the edge of the library there was a lot to do! Shout out to Gemma who attended her first GoodGym session, less than an hour after signing up to be a member!

We worked together to clear the area outside the entrance, with rakes and scoopers. By the time an hour had passed, an entire sack was filled!

We hope to return next month to help continue this work.

There's something strange in the neighbourhood...

Sadly the Mile Cross area of Norwich has a high amount of fly tipping and litter. To combat this, the Mile Cross Litterbusters formed to try and tackle some of the worst hit areas. They regularly meet on weekends, but were happy to connect with GoodGym for a first ever evening litter pick.

6 GoodGymer's ran or walked 4km to Wensum park, where we met Rebecca who had handed out the equipment, instructions and hi-vis. We read through the health & safety, and set off in pairs armed with grabbers & bin trolleys.

Keeping an eye out for any hazards, we covered a large area of roads around the park and local shops. The most surprising find was a discarded kettle!

An hour flew by, and in total 7 bags were filled - ready to be collected by the council in the morning. We even received a certificate for our efforts! It was very rewarding task, superbly organised by Rebecca & her team.
