The team headed to Squirrels Community Scrapstore this evening for a session that proved you don't need a gym when you have a skip to fill. We were tasked with clearing items from the van, pruning back the greenery and tackling the weeds.
The big challenge was a colossal reel of paper that had been taking up residence in the van, which took a coordinated effort from five of our GoodGymers to manoeuvre it into the skip.
While the heavy lifters were busy with the reel, the rest of the crew made short work of the greenery and cleared the weeds.
The result was a full skip, tidy yard, and a very clear space. Reel-y well done team and it's great to be back in action after a short break!

The team had a productive session tidying up at Squirrels today! Kicking things off with a real test of strength, with a very large roll of paper that needed shifting in the van - the perfect warm up! We then got stuck into some serious tidying with trimming a tree and clearing weeds and moss, leaving the area looking much neater. Great work, everyone, it's always brilliant when we make a visible difference!

Four GoodGymers rolled (on bikes) into Squirrels community scrapstore's yard. Inspired by Rufu's bold promise to Barbara that the place would be unrecognisable by the time they were done, the team embraced the challenge.
Despite the warm weather seemingly "cementing" the weeds stubbornly into the concrete, we diligently scraped, pulled, and swept the area, making short work of the tenacious growth and even banishing the lingering dead moss. The impressive collective effort resulted in a satisfying haul of 3 crates of weeds, a bag of rubbish, and a clear yard. But this is just the start as there are a couple more spots to tackle on a return visit.
