🌱🌻We had a lovely morning at Bevendean Downs parkrun with Rich and some prospective new GoodGymers! It was so rewarding to see the flowerbeds GoodGym helped dig looking great. After the run, we checked out the plant sale at The Bevy. Snagged some plants at the sale and brushed up on my recycling skills playing the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership game @harvestbrighton.

Dave is already looking forward to our next visit at The Bevy—he’s even promised to bake us eclairs! Now just counting down the days until then! ✨ 🤩 Who’s coming?

15 GoodGymers ran out to Valley View Gardens ready to get stuck into some gardening at the YMCA… but sometimes plans have other ideas. We’re pretty good at going with the flow (and the run).

First stop: a quick drop-off of rescued food from Olio—because sharing is caring and no good food should go to waste.

With our original task off the table, we didn’t leaf it there. Instead, we branched out to the nearby Round Hill Conservation Area. We were only there last week, but turns out the weeds didn’t take the hint. We tackled overgrown trees, gave the pavements a good de-weed, and helped make the area safer by clearing trip hazards.

Good to see familiar faces, Philippa and Michael, and returning, fair weather 🌞 GoodGymers, who keep powering our amazing Brighton Area with their Good will. Welcome back Amy and Cagdas.

Our donation of food, sandwiches and pastries, was a huge hit at the YMCA today. It was a tough day for many, expecially the residents and staff, and we’re happy we could help lift their spirits.

All in all, a tree-mendous effort from everyone—proof that even when plans change, GoodGymers always find a way to make a difference 🌱

We will be back here next week!
