Eight amazing GoodGymers and Cameron, sprang into action to tame the overgrown secret garden at Stretton School.

Rumour had it there was a pond hidden somewhere beneath the brambles, and it became our mission to uncover it. And uncover it we did—though it was a bit more swamplike than we had hoped! Along the way, we discovered raised beds, a hose tap, and even a polytunnel still waiting to be revealed (a task for another day, as time wasn’t on our side).

We were thrilled to welcome Paul for his first session—he threw himself into the task like an absolute pro.

A beautiful evening spent in great company and good conversation.

Fantastic work, you superstars!

Nine Coventry Goodgymers went to the Earlsdon Primary School allotment to help with general maintenance and tidying around the plot.

The school have recently taken on some new spaces on the allotment site, so the first job was to clear all of the rubbish and leftover bits and bobs and after much wheelbarrowing up and down the allotment site, the space was clear. We then moved our attention to moving a large table and a water bowser to their new positions, and we finished our evening with a speed weeding session, ten minutes to clear planters of weeds.

Fantastic team work everyone, and in daylight too!

Not the best experiences, but i learned something special today. It was alright nothing difficult and i feeled that you people share similar values,which can lead to lasting friendships and a supportive community ❤️. I pray let God continue to bless " Carriers Of Hope"

Seven GoodGymers, also known as Santa's little helpers, spent the evening sorting leftover Christmas toys.

We organised them by age, getting everything ready for Christmas 2025—impressively efficient!

Fab work everyone, well done!
