A wet and windy start to the month, didn't stop 6 Goodgymers making there way to the carriers of hope ! .

Bose and Michelle the from carriers of hope went to great efforts to get everyone in after the gates had been locked with the keys inside !! A potential disaster was averted🙌 phew !

Once we were all in it was a crate evening all round 🤣 ! Helping to move and unload the crates and sort out clothes for the adults that are helped by the Carriers of hope ! It was crate to see Chris there again and Lucy visiting for the first time ! We had to unload and unstack all the crates to find the correct clothes . And sort and separate all the clothes from the bedding and reload and stack everything back. A good workout to be fair , and another task completed! Always a pleasure to see Michelle and Bose and look forward to visiting them again next month !!

We all made our way to Willowbrook with some running, cycling and driving to the task. We were warmly greeted by Claire, who cheerfully laid out our mission: tackle a wild, overgrown planter, dig a hole for a palm tree, and tidy up under the apple tree. With enthusiasm, we dove into the planter, evicting those pesky weeds and prepping for the spring bulb party. James took on the Herculean task of digging through the tough rocky earth and emerged victorious, while the rest of us turned into apple-cleanup experts, gathering fallen fruit like pros. To top off our day, Jackie gave the apple tree a friendly nudge, sending a shower of juicy apples our way. We left with pockets full of apple goodness—deliciously done!

Excellent job everyone, the garden is looking so much better :)

Big shout outs to Lucy who completed 2 good deeds on her first day with GoodGym and Jill for completing her 10th good deed this eve (and also for motivating me to get off my butt and run to the task)

Lucy and Jackie from good gym joined an army of volunteers sorting through the hundreds of items left by students finishing their studies at Warwick Uni . They quickly set to work sorting stuff into clothes, bedding, electrical Kitchen etc . These will all be shared out to those in need either in the Uni or the wider community . A good mornings sorting ensuring that these items don’t end up in landfill !
