Part mission, part therapy - this week we headed to Devonshire Road Primary School to help with the demolition of a portacabin style classroom.

There were crow bars and lump hammers galore as we spent 75 minutes smashing walls to pieces - the very best way to end a Wednesday!

Sumaiya joined us for her first GoodGym session and we were also supported by David, Mumtaz, Laurence, Ken and Hannah - making this one of most attended sessions to date!

Next week we'll be returning to for some more demolition and also doing a bit of balsam bashing - be sure to sign up for a duo of highly satisfying missions!

We took on a brand new mission this week, supporting Post Community Newspapers, delivering The Bolton Post - a free, not-for-profit newspaper to local residents.

It was a pleasure to welcome back Isma for her second GoodGym session and Amna who is fast becoming a regular!

Next week we'll be heading to Devonshire Road Primary School to support with the demolition of a classroom - get your crow bars and lump hammers ready, this one's going to be FUN! 🔨

It was a return to Bolton Lads & Girls Club this week as we helped with a site tidy up at the Infinity Centre.

After a short warm up jog, Amna, Isma and Rowan spent 30 minutes blitzing the outside of this popular local institution, collecting 3 full bags of litter and making a noticeable difference to the front of the building.

We've got our eyes on a flower bed that could do with some TLC next time we visit, watch this space... 👀

It was a very warm welcome to Amna who joined in her first GoodGym session this week 👋

After a warm up run, we spent 30 minutes bagging as much litter as we could - filling two big bags and clearing another load of litter off the streets of Bolton.

It will never not be satisfying to step back and appreciate a cleaned up space, well done Amna and I look forward to welcoming you back for more GoodGym'ing in the coming weeks.

The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the GoodGymers were grafting as 5 of us headed to Wild & Fruity Community Garden to support with a whole load of tasks.

Well done to Hannah for joining in with her very first GoodGym session 👏

It was great to welcome back Steph for her second time as well as regulars Mark and Laurence too.

Between us we shifted a load of concrete flags, painted a shed and moved a whole load of earth to level some ground.

Another hugely satisfying and productive 60 minutes of effort helping a brilliant local organisation, thanks to Leesa and Trish for having us along, we'll definitely be back for more ASAP!

Mark returned for more GoodGym fun as we headed to Sutton Estate Community Centre via the Volunteer Vault at Hulton Lane Playing Fields.

We spent a solid 45 minutes sprucing up the outside of the centre while having a really good chat, the perfect way to spend a Friday evening!
