Today’s task was fun, 7 GoodGymers supplemented the big group of Wild Lakenham to continue making the banks an excellent habitat for lizards to thrive in the Summer.

A few of us also did some litter picking and found lots to tidy, including an entire bike.

A task that saw GoodGymers arrive to help at different times and stay longer or shorter depending on their day, but we did all gather for the all important group photo.

Tonight 5 GoodGymer's ran and walked 5km along Lakenham Way to pick litter.

This area can see a high level of litter, and we were able to borrow tools and bags from Wild Lakenham conservation group at short notice - thank you!

After 45mins we had filled to large bags of cans, bottles and odd bit and pieces.

The most surprising find was a chrome bike frame, that Jonathan decided to carry home and make use of!

What happens when three brilliant community groups join forces? Magic - and a much tidier Lakenham Way!

As well as this, Task Force member Rebecca completed her 200th Good Deed what a hero!!

Today, four energetic GoodGym members teamed up with Wild Lakenham and the Lakenham & Town Close Green Spaces group for a scrub-clearing mission on the railway sidings at the bottom of Lakenham Way - that lovely traffic-free route into Norwich city centre.

The plan: Meet at 10. Get stuck in. The result: By midday, the transformation was incredible!

Trees and shrubs? Gone. Bramble roots? Dug out. Bushes? Cut right down. The bank? Trimmed to perfection (thanks to Roger the Scyther and those trusty hand shears!).

And that’s not all - the team collected heaps of rubbish revealed after recent cutbacks. Among the cans, bottles and crisp packets were some surprises… a tractor and a pregnancy test! (Yes, really.)

This collaboration is extra special because Wild Lakenham owes its very beginnings to GoodGym’s support and networking. Rob played a key role - even giving us our name! So, from everyone at Wild Lakenham: a huge thank you to GoodGym for helping us grow and thrive.

Here’s to more joint adventures and greener spaces for Norwich!

A group of GoodGymers helped out at Old Lakenham Community Orchard.

It was a brisk Sunday morning after a sharp frost, but it didn't stop lots of people turning out in Lakenham to help create thriving habitats for lizards.

We welcomed Danni who was taking part in her first GoodGym session.

There were also two other community groups helping at the task: Wild Lakenham and LTC.

The majority of people where cutting back brambles and other areas, while some others did a litter pick.

The morning was finished off with some lovely, well earned refreshments.

We had a last minute change of task but it still an amazing evening.

Thanks to Rose for coming up with the idea and Beks for accommodating us.

20 of us (plus some extra locals) visited Wild Lakenham to help clear and cut back an overgrown public pathway.
