We returned to Harwood Library this week to finish the job we started last week alongside *The Friends of Harwood and Longsight Park *.

A quick second coat of paint on the wall, followed by some hammerlite on the railings - bish bash bosh, there's your freshly painted library!

Thanks to Jane Wilcock for providing all the equipment and lining up this satisfying mission.

We spent an incredibly satisfying Friday evening transforming the outside of Harwood Library, painting some railings and a wall.

Rowan and first timer Jonathan joined Jane Wilcock and The Friends of Harwood and Longsight Park dedicating an hour to a well used local facility.

We'll be returning this Friday to apply a second coat and finish the job! 👊🏻

We returned to Tonge Moor UCAN centre this week to continue the tidy up of an overgrown community garden.

3 GoodGym'ers spent an hour each bagging rotten apples and pears and weeding and turning the soil over in a couple of raised beds.

Well done to Saf, Laurence and Rowan for their efforts.

Next week we'll be heading over to Harwood Library to spruce up the outside of the building with some painting!

We headed to Tonge Moor UCAN centre this week to start the tidy up of an overgrown community garden.

Laurence tackled the hundreds of rotting apples and pears that had gathered under the fruit trees 🍏🍐 while Rowan started on the litter and weeds.

45 minutes later, we'd made a noticeable difference and started to see the potential of this once glorious garden.

We'll be back again next soon to make some more progress and get one step closer to returning it to its former glory!

We were back out supportingThe Post Newspapers this week, delivering the latest edition of The Bolton Post 🗞️

Carrying a heavy bag of papers and doing a load of steps is a brilliant way of keeping fit while doing good, we'll be back out delivering again next month.

Fancy joining us next week? We'll be tidying a garden at a community centre. You can sign up for our next group run here: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sign-up/tidying-up-a-community-centre-garden

We headed back to Bolton Lads & Girls Club's Infinity Centre this week to start the transformation of a planter at the entrance of the youth club.

After making the short jog over from The Jason Kenny Centre, we headed to pick up some tools from the nearby St Helena car park - another transformation project we hope to support in future.

50 minutes of litter picking, digging and turning over the soil left the area ready for some planting to complete the transformation... watch this space 👀
