Six Goodgymmers, Millie, Sophie, Roger, Daryl, Keith and Lea, turned up at Langside School where Nick from Diverse Abilities had a diversity of tasks for us. Roger set to jet washing a classroom and did a really good job. Millie, Sophie, Daryl and Lea shovelled pebbles into wheelbarrows to spread out on a patch under the swing. Millie soon set to filling the holes and levelling the surface. Keith, after having looked for “lost souls” and not found any, took the shears and cut back some bushes to provide better access to the play area there. Lea then swept the outside of a shed before setting to the (her pet hate) task of masking taping windows on the shed. But it meant that Millie and Sophie could get on with painting around the windows, before moving on to painting the rest of the shed. With Lea, Daryl, Keith and Roger helping we got three sides of the shed done! Oh good, now Nick will have to invite us again to finish that off! And he certainly will, judging by the “thank you” and goodiebags we received. Goodgym’s “diversity in their abilities” certainly showed itself today and hopefully will do so again on a few more occasions. Thank you everyone for your hard work. Mind you, it was not all hard work: the bouncing mat and the musical instruments definitely provided some fun.

The children of Langside School will have a better environment to play in.
