Starting at 10am, Goodgymers who arrived explored the interior of the house to locate the tools needed ready to get to work.

Further goodgymers arrived which included Eloise who achieved her 25th good deed.

The task was to remove as many rose roots as we could from the former rose garden located at the back and it certainly put the ‘gym’ in Goodgym. It was a gigantic effort by all to remove the many upon many stubborn rose roots, in very cold weather which became more challenging as rain began to fall. It was certainly back breaking and required a lot of muscle from all.

This mission was reminiscent of the 2019 task outside the Norwich Train Station removing rose roots in the autumn/winter.

Despite the weather, goodgymers pushed on outside and were rewarded with coffee, tea, biscuits and a tour of the outside and inside of the house (in our socks).

In homage to Hitch and his many large fish he has caught, Woody and Jonathan saw a great photo opportunity to proudly hold up high the massive bush they removed together with Eloise as photographer.

We had a last minute change of task and thank you Bobby Bakewell for arranging a new task at short notice.

The team met at Mousehold Sea Scouts and did a litter picker around the local area including Kett's Cave.

Well done everyone!

9 GoodGymers joined residents at Redmayne View housing with care for a spooky filled evening.

This evening we started another new community garden project, this time on Union Street. We love to start new projects and see them develop over time.

A big welcome to Talan who was completing their first good deed with is.

Well done everyone!

We spent an hour sticking the braille labels on cds that had had labels made from previous visits to Mrs J,s.

We had a good time and some interesting chats and there are plenty more CDs to label!

We visited a site on Shipstone Road to help start a new community garden project.

Congratulations to Nicole for completing her 50th good deed!!!!

We made a great difference to the area - clearing an overgrown flower bed and clearing the pathways.

A local resident brought us out some chocolate at the end, which was an extremely kind gesture.

We spent this morning improving the entrance ways of Carrow House with other local volunteers, focussing on 'curb appeal' as future users of the house will get a better first impression.

As the task progressed we worked our way further into the space, including some tidying in the incredible green house. Definitely lots more to do but an excellent morning was had.

Also a big welcome to Kameron who was taking part in their first task for Good Gym.
