Tonight we were back at Woking food bank at The Lighthouse, giving it a good old spring clean.

Anne, Karen & Laura ran from the Leisure Centre, whilst Katie, Phil, Julie and Alys made their own way to the task.

In less than half an hour, we had the place hoovered, mopped and organised! Many hands make light work as they say…

If you couldn’t join us today, there are two tasks available this Sunday - one indoors helping build a train set for All Aboard’s sessions for autistic, ADHD and SEN children, and another outdoor sowing wildflowers on Millmoor Common.

There was a great turnout this evening for some litter picking around the streets of Woking. 🚮

Upon everybody’s prompt arrival, and a brief chat, Anne uncovered the brand new litter pickers which everyone got very excited about.🗑

Then, passing the adventure park, the team noticed a lot of litter so in they went, but not to play! 🛝

The group turned off out of Woking Park and carried on up White Rose Lane then ended up at the central flats.

High up on the tally seemed to be beer cans, beer caps, and cigarette butts, so it was a good thing to remove these things which impact our environment and wildlife. Great job team!

The ladies finished off with a gentle run back to the park and finally bade their farewells for the night leaving Woking a cleaner place.

After all, we don't mess about!

Mayford Meadows

Today’s task was to clear an area of grass and nettles  in Hoe Valley and  sow with native wild plant seeds to increase biodiversity.  We marked off a 5m2 area Only one good gymer, Julie made it to the task today, luckily there were plenty of WEAct volunteers so many hands made light work. Removing the grass and some of the fertile top soil will increase the chance of the wild flowers surviving.  Some teasel seedlings were also planted.  Charlie from WEAct is pleased to be working with Good Gym and there will be plenty more opportunities to get involved. 😊

Anne has been with Woking GG from the very beginning she was there at the launch night back in 2016. She has seen many faces come and go but Anne has remained that constant face encouraging, supporting showing kindness to all that have joined. Her dedication and commitment has been amazing and it shows with over 300 good deeds and still going strong ❤️

Anne has taken on the roles as task force and now run leader, and continues to help others with organizing hill training sessions as well as tasks within the community.

Woking GG are very lucky to have her, Anne in her speech tonight dedicated her award to all her goodgym crew who she said also deserved the award but in our eyes Anne is a worthy winner of this amazing award as she also has all the attributes that amazing Sean had ❤️
