Our latest visit to help the Green Skills Library had a bit of everything, from sanding and painting jobs to making table decorations, fueled by a tub of Quality Street and supported by a very excited labrador. The library is looking fabulous and we're all looking forward to seeing it open once again. Thanks to everyone who joined!

Nothing odd about these jobs!

Wednesday 14th October

Written by Diya Singh (she/her)

Six GoodGymers went to the new premises of the Green Skills Library where we were welcomed by the task owner. After quick introductions, she outlined the varied jobs for the evening: - Painting - Brooming the carpentry area - Kneeling on the floor and scraping off bits of gum and paint!

I'm always surprised at how quickly GoodGymers divvy up work without being told who should do what. So off went: - Mike to the carpentry area - Anne-Laure and Diya to paint the back cupboards - Amy to paint an old stool - Juli and Jess on the floor, scraper in hand

And hour flew by, and wonderful things were accomplished, with Amy also having joined the Kneelers and Scrapers. Another fun evening for the books!

Total Clean‑clipse

Wednesday 12th August

Written by Jess Smith

Five GoodGymmers, one solar eclipse, and a truly heroic amount of extension cables — that was the scene at the Green Skills Library today.

While the sky dimmed to an eerie twilight, the team lit up the indoors with some top‑tier tidying. Stairs were vacuumed with gusto, floors were swept into submission, rubbish was cleared with precision, and the cable chaos was tamed.

As the moon slid across the sun outside, inside it was all brushes, bags and banter — a neat little eclipse‑themed clean‑up that left the Library shining brighter than the sliver of daylight overhead.

Massive thank you to Jen for stepping up and leading the task.

Shiny new home

Wednesday 10th June

Written by Angela Shaw

Six enthisiastic Good gymers visited the new home of the Green Skills Library in Maidenhead to help clean up. After much scrubbing, elbow grease and polishing the kitchen shone and sparkled. We emptied buckets and bowls of dirty water down the sinks, a satisfying task!

Rollin' up to help out

Monday 8th June

Written by Jess Smith

6 Goodgymmers rallied to help not one but two beneficiaries tonight.

First up were ShareaLot who needed help removing the last few bits from the Nicholson Centre. The items were loaded into wagons and pulled over the road to storage at the Green Skills Library's new premises. The team made short work of this and the final boxes, signs, TV and mirror were swiftly relocated.

This left us a bit of time to help the Green Skills Library wrangle some bags of fabric and get them tied up ready to be moved. We even gave the floor a quick sweep!

Then it was off into the lovely dry evening and we will be back at the Green Skills Library on Wednesday!!

Dismantling string lights and Christmas baubles

Wednesday 3rd June

Written by Diya Singh (she/her)

3 GoodGymers met on a windy and rainy evening for an indoor task - lucky us! What was not lucky was the constant beep of the alarm where we were working. Thankfully we're a talkative lot and the sound didn't bother us much.

This evening we helped the Green Skills Library as they continue their preparation to move to the new location. There were a lot of ties to be snipped off a metal frame, to free up baubles and light strings which were well encased in cling film. Methodically, we worked through them and before long we had dismantled 5 metal frames, freeing up-too-many-to-count baubles and lights.

We walked away in the rain, leaving task owner Donna happy and thankful once again.
