Last night 9 Goodgymers ran 5km to support Livability John Grooms Court, a residential home for adults with physical and intellectual disabilities.

Once we got to the task we met Mike, from Sprowston Community Hub, who had provided us with spades, forks, bags and a saw.

We split into two groups, the first team cut down and dug out shrubs and remove potted plants from the window garden area. The second group took on the hard task of shovelling gravel into bags, so that the whole area can be landscaped and used by residents at the home.

After 45 mins all the shrubs and plant pots were removed, and an incredible 30 bags were filled with gravel! Check out the before & after photos!

Really well done everyone, we look forward to returning to this task next week to continue helping to improving this community garden space.
