A good-sized group of GoodGymers braved the prospect of a (second) downpour last night to head to our task in Limehouse.

This was our first time with lovely lighter evenings at the home of Ocean Youth Connexions and Tower Hamlets Community Transport in Limehouse.

Arriving one by one, GoodGymers caught up with the latest news as task owner Kamal prepared equipment and allocated members to tasks.

We were divided into various teams to tackle tonight’s list of jobs, which included:

• Tidying and pruning at the front of the building

• Relocating ballast and cement bags against the church wall (the heavy lifting task)

• Litter-picking around the yard; removing weeds from along the walls.

• Removing ivy from behind the buses.

It was an industrious time, with one task finishing and another starting continuously over the hour.

This has been a rewarding project to be a part of over the last nine months or so. With Ocean Youth Connexions needing to find a new home last summer and Tower Hamlets Community Transport welcoming a revival of their premises, the transformation of the yard, meetings rooms and downstairs workroom seems to have taken shape in no time.

After clearing the yard and making those last couple of trips to the bins, we posed for the all-important final pic.

Big shout-outs to Lucinda for another perfect pun and to Najwa who joined for her first GoodGym session!

Have a great week everyone – look forward to seeing you next week at Hollybush Gardens.
