Last night 9 Goodgymers ran 5km to support Livability John Grooms Court, a residential home for adults with physical and intellectual disabilities.

Once we got to the task we met Mike, from Sprowston Community Hub, who had provided us with spades, forks, bags and a saw.

We split into two groups, the first team cut down and dug out shrubs and remove potted plants from the window garden area. The second group took on the hard task of shovelling gravel into bags, so that the whole area can be landscaped and used by residents at the home.

After 45 mins all the shrubs and plant pots were removed, and an incredible 30 bags were filled with gravel! Check out the before & after photos!

Really well done everyone, we look forward to returning to this task next week to continue helping to improving this community garden space.

Tonight 10 runners ran 2km to Somerleyton Gardens to help turn their flower beds into a wild flower garden.

When we arrived we met Pam & Cate who showed us the area that needed tidying up. Their project is to clear the over grown flower beds to create a community space for residents to enjoy.

We took gloves, tools and bin bags to begin clearing the weeds and turning the soil. Alina had a particularly good magpie's eye for finding hidden pieces of 'rubbish' rubbish, while others collected up dried grass and broken branches - filling 8 bags!

Darren and Mark took charge of compiling a compost heap, while I had the privilege of playing with Balou - the cockerpoo!

After 45 minutes our time was up, with a whole area cleared and some good before and after photographic evidence of a job well done!

We will be back again in 2 weeks to continue supporting this great local project.

High 5's to Woody for completing his 10th Good Deed this evening!
