We are back! GoodGym x Brompton were together again this month making a difference in the local community as a group of 9 Brompton volunteers headed to Horsenden Farm to help out.

The group were so keen to get started that they headed off in groups to the farm while AA Yianny was heading to their office and our paths didn't cross! No matter, we all reunited at the farm for a quick introduction to GG and our partnership before Elsa and the team split us into two groups to crack on.

Those wearing suitable footwear headed over to the former pig enclosure to pull down the fencing and get it ready to be rebuilt for next year's intake. The wire showed plenty of signs of the many escape attempts this year!

The remaining group grabbed shovels and wheelbarrows and headed down to shift woodchip and compost to bring up and lay in the planting garden ready for a new season to be laid.

After a really challenging year the team are running a fundraiser for the farm and we wanted to share it here - it's going great so far but we need to get to the full amount by November 2nd so if you can please spare a few £ for a great cause.

By the end of the session everyone was suitably warm, muddy and happy and a great deal had been done which is the main thing. We were also given home baked Amaretti which just makes everything feel amazing!

A huge thanks to all the Brompton vols, you were excellent today and we look forward to seeing you again sometime!
