Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Miriam Rowe
I walked to Mr K’s house, it only took half an hour. When I arrived it was clear to see what needed to be done. The path way was swamped by an invasive buddleja bush or butterfly bush as they are also known. The kind that gets planted by bird’s droppings and tries to take over the whole space. I set to work hacking it back. I also cleared brambles and weeds from the side path. Mr K’s social worker arrived and she was impressed by what I had already achieved. She went in to see Mr K and when she came back out the buddleja was gone. She was really kind about goodgym. When I said I admired the work that social workers do she said that services like goodgym are a massive help to her work. I kept weeding and tidying and the front space looked transformed. Mr K was very happy.
