Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)

Share the love

One thing I love about goodgym is how many skills I've picked up along the way.

I've learned how to fit loft insulation in a church, how to plant and look after trees to ensure they survive, and improved my flatpack furniture assembly skills (from terrible instructions).

Today I (mostly) single-handedly made a planter from some wooden sleepers. I had some good advice from Bromley Mencap's facilities person Michelle, and Caroline from the charity provided her steady hands and I sawed and connected the pieces together. Another skill for the collection.

Forgot to take a pic, so here's a birdbox I made (with some of those transferable skills...)
