We decided to do a litter pick between Rose Road and Aldermoor Community Farm as we had to change our session on the day. We know there is always a lot of litter on this road and wanted to give it a good tidy up for visitors to two of our favourite places to help. We only needed to do half a mile to get plenty of litter and we got to use the robot bins to dispose of it! Until next time Aldermoor Road…

On a dark, wet and uninspiring evening, Southampton GoodGym headed to City Farm to tackle a mountain of compost. While the weather was doing its best to dampen spirits, we weren't going to let a little rain get in the way of some quality muck-moving! Armed with shovels and plenty of enthusiasm, we dug deep and got digging. The compost heap didn't stand a chance as we cleared it one shovelful at a time. Despite the darkness, everyone managed to keep their composture, even when faced with what seemed like a never-ending pile. By the end of the session, we'd shifted a huge amount of compost. It wasn't the most glamorous evening, but it was certainly one to make us feel mulch better about the world!

Last night's GoodGym session at Aldermoor Farm was a race against the fading light. We spent the evening cutting back willow branches, trimming hedges, and weeding planting beds to help keep the farm looking its best. With dusk closing in, the team worked hard and managed to get everything finished just before darkness took over. A satisfying evening of teamwork, fresh air, and community gardening.

Last night we were back in the respite garden to do a tidy up after a busy summer of use. We set to work sweeping up, weeding, cleaning the equipment and pressure washing the patio. We were happy to have provided the evening entertainment for one of the young people staying. They kept a close watch to make sure we were doing a good job! It was great to welcome two new members Poppy Ollie this evening and we hope to see you back again soon.
