An amazing turn out of 38 runners helped out Heeley Development Trust by digging, shifting and spreading top quality mulch over the flower beds.

Shout out to Bee for completing her 100th good deed, and to new runners Holly and Alex for coming on their first group runs. Awesome work!

After a quick briefing from Fantastic Frank and Regal Rob, the Goodgymers split into three teams using shovels, barrows, buckets and rakes. With a busy road to cross Frank and Rob kept us safe by being road marshals.

Staying at the park we did a circuit of six exercise made up of Mountain Climbers, Squats, Lunges, Press ups, Planks and Star Jumps, before a quick group photo and the run back to base.

Heeley Development Trust
"Making Heeley a better place to be. We want Heeley to be a successful, vibrant and inclusive community; a good place to live, to work, to do business and to visit."

Heeley Development Trust (HDT) is a small, charitable development trust, founded by local volunteers, business people & residents in 1996. We have delivered youth, community, environmental and economic development projects in and around our neighbourhood for the last 20 years. We are working hard, developing a diverse range of income, social enterprises and assets, all with the aim of making Heeley a great place to live, with a real sense of place, pride and community. Our projects include; Heeley People's Park, Sum Studios (saving a Grade 2 listed Victorian School and redeveloping as managed work space – this is bringing jobs and investment into our community), The Heeley Voice - a local magazine and Recycle Bikes – a social enterprise supporting disengaged young people to gain training, confidence, work experience and jobs. If you are interested in any of our projects, would like to get involved or are willing to volunteer any of your time please do not hesitate to contact us or give us your feedback.
