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 👀

We were back out delivering The Post Newspapers this week - keeping our community connected and informed on what's going on across Bolton.

With 250 newspapers to carry and distribute, delivering The Bolton Post is always a great way of getting fit by doing good.

We'll be back out next month to deliver the September edition!

What a lovely evening in a stunning location! We headed out to litter pick on our local run route, collecting several bags of rubbish and helping make the space cleaner and more welcoming for everyone.

There was plenty of chatting and laughter along the way, proving that doing good for the community is even better together. Every bag collected makes a difference, and it’s always rewarding to leave somewhere looking better than we found it.

Looking forward to the next mission!
