On another chilly Monday evening, ten dedicated GoodGymers gathered at the Tower Hamlets Community Transport base to support local youth organisation, Ocean Youth Connexions.

The group took on several important tasks this evening, including clearing the fence area, relocating soil, and painting two large containers as well as a balcony railing.

Our activity with Ocean Youth at the base over the last eight months have helped to enhance the premises by improving its outdoor area, thereby assisting the charities in maintaining a safe and functional environment for their administrative and training activities.

Clearing the fence area involved removing debris, ensuring the space became tidy and accessible, while relocating the soil required the team to shift large amounts of earth to designated areas.

Three teams headed to the painting tasks: tackling the two large containers required physical effort and plenty of precision. The GoodGymers, however, managed to ensure even coverage, while working in tight spaces at different heights. Painting the balcony railing also required a steady hand and careful technique to cover intricate metalwork…

It was after 8 when we decided to call it a night, Gathering brushes, overalls, paint trays and tools, we headed back into the building, to gather for our final picture.

Another great evening down in Limehouse.

A big well done to the whole team for getting so much done tonight.

Next week, it's back to Rocky Park!

Until then.

Seven of us really hit the "gym" in "goodgym" this morning, helping Pat on the farm.

We hauled around some sleepers to tidy up, we filled in a planter with compost and soil, and we transported a very large number of heavy paving slabs from behind the duck pond to next to the muck heap.

We definitely got our weightlifting and steps workout! We were rewarded with a meet and greet with some of the farm residents. First, Oreo and Penguin the calves, who took a particular shine to Gail's shoes! Then we visited the 3 week old lambs, and finished off feeding the pregnant goats.

Welcome to Kavita and Peining, for their first GoodGym session, and we hope to see you all again soon.
