This Tuesday, five GoodGymers arrived at Carriers of Hope for our regular monthly visit. We were warmly greeted by the lovely Gloria. It was good to see Natalia coming again on her first visit to the Carriers of Hope !

It was a very hot day, with temperatures soaring, but we got stuck in straight away. There have been lots of generous donations recently, which is fantastic, but it has created a new challenge — finding space to store everything! Our main task was to take all the sleeping bags down from the shelves, rearrange them, and create as much space as possible. We also tidied up and organised all the crates.

Seven Coventry Goodgymers walked, ran and cycled to the Food Union Allotment to support with the general upkeep of the site that provides the Pod cafe with ingredients to make their lovely vegan menu!

For this task, we split into two groups, one group collected water from the river to water all of the thirsty plants (although it did try to rain whilst we were there), whilst the other group weeded around the courgettes and squash, carefully avoiding the cape gooseberry and cosmos that had seeded themselves! An excellent job well done and in a lovely location too - well done everyone!
