This evening, Andy, one of the activity coordinators at Parkview Care Home, had a spooktacularly seasonal task awaiting us!

Two of us ran there from Crook Log Leisure Centre, while the others made their own way to the home, where a frightfully fun evening was about to begin.

With Halloween just around the corner, we spent a ghoulishly good hour carving pumpkins with the home’s residents.

We each paired up with a resident, and set to work with pumpkin carving tools. We hollowed out our gourds and create a host of wonderfully wicked faces. 🎃🎃🎃

Some of the residents got especially creative, adding ears to their pumpkins and even giving the creepy creations their very own names!

It was a lovely way to get into the Halloween spirit together.

We were also delighted to have Karen and Semira on their first task. Welcome to Team GoodGym Bexley!

More photos to come so check back here soon!

Another hot evening was upon us as we arrived at Welling Library where weeds and brambles had certainly taken hold despite the heatwave!

We soon got stuck in - Sophie collected litter while the rest of us tackled the plants and prickly brambles that had crept across the pathway alongside the building and the yard at the back.

Some of the weeds stuck to us - Alice actually had green fingers!

Well done to Sophie on her 10th good deed!

The time flew by and we bundled up the sacks of cuttings, put away the tools and headed to the Nags Head for a drink and some snacks.

Well done all! The before and after pics show what a difference we made!
