A gloriously sunny and warm evening for the second installment of help in the outdoor reception class area. A large team of 11 GoodGymmers plus Mr Woodbridge and Mrs Pope, who armed us with everything we needed and stayed to help too.

This time we focused on more painting of the fences around the mud kitchen, laying down bark and filling up the sandpit. A great workout all around! It's great to see this area being spruced up.

We welcomed several new faces for their first GoodGym mission; Matt (though Matt also helped with installment one but not via GG), Honor, Lucia, Jemma and Heather. Lucia even commented on how it felt like a night out clubbing...! We hope to have you back for another rave soon!

I'm sure we will be back soon to help with more missions at Wessex. Especially as Mr Woodbridge told us about some weeding needed on the other side of the building and we know how much GoodGym LOVES weeding!

Well done all on a great team effort!

The evening forecast threatened rain but this didn't deter a hardy bunch of 10 or so good people to converge at the Wessex Primary School. We got to work, quickly dividing ourselves as painters and gardeners. And then there was brave Sophie. Tackling the jet washer as a solo task. Bravo!

The outdoor space next to the school building needed some weeding, a wee little tidying up, fresh coat of paint on the fences around the garden and mud kitchen (adorable!).

Rain stayed away and progress was soon visible. The flower beds, walkways, garden started to look spruced up and the blue, purple and mint coloured fences started to make the place look cheery.

Thank you to all who made it and a warm welcome to Gindo, Kirsty, Rebecca and Cyril, who notched up their first good deeds with Good Gym. Here's to many more!
