We took to the foodbank for our monthly winter cleaning session last night. This time we cleaned fridges & sorted food waste in the kitchen. In the main hall it was the turn of the toiletries, pet food and baby supplies to get moved and the whole area cleaned. As nominated tallest person in attendance, Max even climbed a very tall ladder to clean the huge arched windows.

Well done team - as ever, many hands make light work of this big task!

Good to meet you Laura - welcome to GoodGym!

A morning well spent, raking the fallen leaves from hundreds of metres of paths around Boundary Brook Nature Park. If left the leaves would make the paths squelchy and slippery, undoing all our hard work in laying the stone in the first place. This task helps keep them accessible all year round.

Capitalising on a sunny Saturday, 7 Goodgymers ventured to Oxford City Farm. Originally, we were set to help at their Autumn Festival, however, due to the heavy rain over the last couple of weeks this had to be postponed. Instead, we helped the clearup effort. Our first task was weeding under the apple trees and the beds of leeks. Weeds pulled and conversations had across many topics we enjoyed a cuppa and homemade flapjack with the other volunteers.

Our final task saw us clearing a path and area behind the kitchen in the hope that it can be used for future visitors to the farm for activities. Jobs done, we made sure to pick up some produce from the farm, jellies and preservatives were the order of the day. As it was Matt B's last Goodgym task in Oxford we hotfooted it the Jolly Postboys for crisps and a refreshing beverage.
