On a bright Wednesday evening, our brilliant bunch of GoodGymmers headed to Hook Lane Primary School for a hands-on task that combined clearing rubbish, working on the climbing frame, and laying whole lot of woodchipping.
First up, we tackled a pile of accumulated stuff โ broken bits of guttering, piping, pipe insulation and other random debris -- ferrying it from next to the shed on the playing field to the official rubbish area. So much tidier!
Meanwhile, Robert lend a strong pair of hands โ and a sharp eye for engineering and DIY โ to help teacher Dan repair the climbing frame. It's slowly coming back to life for breaktime adventures.
Next came the main event: laying down woodchippings to transform the mud kitchen into a cleaner, safer, and more inviting space for the kids to play.
We shovelled, wheeled, and spread the chippings with impressive coordination โ like a very outdoorsy conveyor belt.
By the end of the hour, the mud kitchen looked transformed and ready for all the mini chefs to do their thing ๐ฉโ๐ณ๐จโ๐ณ.
A big thanks to everyone who came out and made such a positive impact!
Great work team, letโs do it again soon! ๐ฅ

This was our first time at Holy Trinity Lamorbey Church where the parish administrator, Pat, and parishioners Annie and Rosie (with her children), gave us a warm welcome and explained the task: clear a tangle of brambles and weeds from a flowerbed, and pull up the underlying plastic membrane, if possible.
With the church summer fayre taking place in just a few days, the pressure was on to make things look neater and tidier!
We were a hive of activity as we jumped to it: cutting back the growth, digging out roots, heaving up the membrane, and barrowing the cuttings to a compost area.
We downed tools at one point to rescue a toad and carefully move it to a new home in nearby bushes ๐ธ.
We think we also disturbed a bumble bee nest as there were lots of them buzzing around our legs. Simon got stung through his socks twice, ouch! ๐๐๐
Several passers by stopped to comment on our work - the red GG tshirts certainly make us stand out!
And what a difference between before and after! We cleared the whole area and we could hardly bee-lieve how much we got done in just an hour.
We'll bee back again across the summer to help with more tasks in the garden. Hop along and join us.
