It was brilliant to welcome along Conrad and Saf for their first GoodGym missions this week as we supported The Post Newspapers by delivering The Bolton Post.

Many hands truly make light work and we delivered all 200 copies in just under 60 minutes!

Next week we are joining forces withBolton Manbassadors to mark Men's Health Week ♂️

We headed back to Devonshire Road Primary School this week to continue supporting with the demolition of an old classroom.

We spent 45 minutes transferring the remnants of walls and windows into skips and swinging some lump hammers at walls and windows.

We'll be heading back for round 3 very soon!

*GoodyGym 1 - 0 Himalayan Balsam *

The battle of the Balsam commenced this week as Laurence, Amna and Rowan headed to the banks of the River Tonge to tackle some of the invasive Himalayan Balsam in support of Bolton Green Umbrella and The Big Balsam Bash.

After discovering some beautiful new paths en-route to the task, the three musketeers spent 45 minutes weeding and snapping the plants whilst enjoying birdsong and the smell of bread from the nearby Warburtons bakery, before walking back to Bolton town centre in the sunshine.

As Wednesday evenings go, this was a mighty satisfying one!

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... 👀
