Saturday 2nd May

Written by Stephanie (She/Her)

Lots of fun and a good workout for Nicola and Stephanie as we joined the lovely volunteers down at Southampton Old Cemetery. We followed behind the strimmers raking up the grass and weeds. All ready for their open day next Sunday 10th May when they celebrate 180 years since the cemetery opened.

We had a great time on Saturday with the friends of soton cemetery. The weather was wonderful and between GoodGym and the Friends, we had a large group of volunteers. We split our time between removing brambles and raking cut grass - but we did so well, we ran out of work!

Raking it in on a Saturday morning

Saturday 4th October 2025

Written by Finnuala (She/her)

This blustery morning greeted me with sunshine and the glorious company of the friends of the old Southampton cemetery. We picked up 5 bags leaves & grass and tipped them onto the compost with tremendous strength of the volunteers. I was amazed by the volunteers here who were incredibly inspirational, I will definitely be back.
