Three GoodGymers returned to Walnut Tree House to help weed an outside area used by the elderly residents for socialising. We hope they enjoy their cup of tea there this afternoon!

A new scheme for our GoodGymers this week, we made our way to Colchester Borough Homes residencies in Five Fields Court where were met by Steve who had already begun the weeding! Out three GoodGymers got to work weeding the paved areas out front, the before and after photos show our efforts and it was nice to see such a difference. We had quite a lot of attention from locals too who were intrigued with what we were doing - always happy for more potential members!
Well done team!

The clouds were threatening rain but luckily didn't let loose during GG time! A new CBH location The clouds were threatening rain but luckily didn't let loose during GG time! A new CBH location for us at GoodGym Colchester. We spent a productive 45 minutes picking litter from hedges, garden and the car park at Grymes Dyke Court and managed to get a fair haul.
Shout out to the residents for being very welcoming and grateful and providing us with non-alcoholic Pimms refreshment (with a top secret ingredient) after the task! We will be back!

A lovely evening for a litter picking task to help out at one of the Colchester Borough Homes residences. We were also tasked with clearing sticks and twigs from the paths to help remove trip hazards for the residents. We managed to avoid the scattered rain showers thankfully and our four GoodGymers did a great job for which Linda at CBH was very thankful. It was also a chance to celebrate Frazer's fantastic achievement at the Paris marathon where he clocked in just under 4 hours! Well done Frazer!

We were delighted to have two new/ish GoodGymers join us this evening for some moss clearing. Well done to Henryfor his first and Lukefor his second task!
A lighter evening but still a slightly chilly one. We scrubbed and brushed at the moss around the grounds at Cherry Trees. This helped to keep ourselves warm and the residents safe.
Thanks all and see you next time!

A nice chilly jog up to Charles Smith House while we discussed running routes. Both Christian and Frazer did some impressive long runs at the weekend! We got to work brushing away at a big patch of slushy, slippery, sludgy moss and managed to clear the majority. A good deed done helping the residents stay safe in the wet weather. Well done team!
