What better way to spend a sunny evening than a jog over to Spon Gate primary school for a quick bit of sanding and staining?

The school were given to a grant to help spruce up the outdoor space and while the new additions were looking fresh the benches and chair were well overdue some TLC.

With ten of us on the job, we powered through most of the sanding, got a coat of stain on, and even gave the plants a good soak—much needed in this heat!

Great to see you again Dale and massive shoutout to Marcelle who showed up on her birthday—that’s dedication. Absolute Queen status, and yes, we got a snap of her on her ‘throne’.

Top effort from everyone—brilliant work all round!

9 Coventry Goodgymers walked, ran and cycled to the Primary Plot, Earlsdon Primary School's allotment on a beautifully sunny summers' evening.

Tasks for the evening included weeding around the whole plot, tidying up the hedgerow, using wheelbarrows to move woodchippings to keep those pesky weeds at bay and getting the area ready for a busy summer term of activities on the primary plot! Well done and fantastic work everyone, we achieved lots this evening and we look forward to visiting again soon to see what the children have been planting, and maybe do a bit more weeding!

Same time next week?

This month's visit to Carriers of hope , all of our GoodGym volunteer crew, joined forces with the lively CLM for a cracking day of sorting action. The warehouse hummed with energy as we shifted stacks of clothes, household goods, and essentials, organized donations like Tetris masters, and tallied inventory with ninja-like precision. With GoodGym and CLM bringing laughs and muscle, Great efforts we're buzzing to keep the hope flowing with our monthly missions!
