It was a busy evening at Oceans Youth Connections, with plenty of jobs to keep everyone occupied.

We had a bit of everything to get through, from sweeping, vacuuming and mopping the floors inside to leaf picking and weeding outside. With so much to do, we split ourselves into different areas, switching around whenever we fancied a change of task.

Everyone got stuck in, and with so many helping hands, we managed to get through plenty of work.

It was also lovely to see so many new faces joining us this evening, especially those attending their very first GoodGym session. Hopefully having such a big group made it an enjoyable first experience, and we’ll be seeing them again soon.

A busy but lovely evening, with plenty of teamwork and a great turnout. Thank you to everyone who came along and got involved!

St Peter’s was looking really nice this evening, especially with the lights we put up during our last session now all lit up!

We split into two groups, with one group outside collecting up the leaves and clearing them away. Once we had gathered them all up, they were put into the compost, giving them a chance to eventually go back into the ground and give something back to the garden.

The other group definitely had a more hands-on job, getting stuck into taking things down, unscrewing bits, carrying boxes and helping to clear and reorganise the space inside the church. There was plenty to get involved with, and everyone was happy to get stuck in.

Lucinda was also busy giving one of the benches a fresh coat of paint, while a few cats made an appearance outside too!

With so many people coming along, it made for a really enjoyable evening with plenty of teamwork, good vibes and lots getting done.

We started today’s session with a lap around the garden, although I think the real leader of the run was the very energetic dog who came along with us! There was definitely no shortage of energy!

After our lap, we got stuck into some litter picking. There was only one glove between the four of us, so we had to take turns, but we still managed to fill a whole bag with rubbish! Not bad for a quick and easy task.

It was also Ros's first GoodGym session, so it was lovely to have her join us! Hopefully this is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see how far she goes with GoodGym

A simple Sunday session, but a good one — especially with one very enthusiastic four-legged team member! 🐶
