Karen, Laura and Sheila gathered at the Braywick Plant Nursery on what is the last scheduled Goodgym community mission here. The finances are not working out and this fantastic facility is planned to close at the end of the year unless a rescue plan can be devised. We worked alongside 3 young men from Talkback, who gain valuable experience and skills in Horticulture from their weekly visits. We were sorting and trimming the perennial plants being over-wintered, and by the end of the session we had gathered a dustbin full of trimmings including several acorns which had fallen into the pots whilst they had been outside. Goodgym has been supporting Braywick Plant Nurseries since April 2023, and 55 different GoodGymers have carried out 96 tasks. Let's hope that a rescue plan can be found.

We are a small garden garden centre providing volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with support needs

We run a not-for-profit company, supported by paid staff & community volunteers to provide volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with a wide range of support needs. We are currently having a big clear out across our site, and need help moving all of the material to a skip. This will enable us to better use the space we have to expand our operations and better support our volunteers and staff.

I enjoyed visiting Braywick with good gym meeting lots of lovely ladies and a few lovely men! I hope a rescue plan is found as I will miss everyone connected to the nursery, I have made some good friends.
