Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Amy L (she/her)
Today it was over 30 degrees and I spent most of the day melting and wondering how on Earth I was going to have the energy to run to the Maidenhead Community Allotment later to meet Meggie and do some watering. Maybe I could just lie amongst the courgettes and ask Meggie to water me too? Or could we re-purpose one of the water butts as a paddling pool?
Butt when the dreaded moment came the magic of GoodGym took hold and somehow we managed not only to water all the plants and fill up three water butts, but we did 6 laps of hilly Boyn Grove Park next door at the same time. What a work-out!! And with lots of uplifting chatter between the sprints too.
Thanks for a great evening Meggie!
The Maidenhead Community Allotment is run by a group of volunteers, who grow food to share with local residents, the users of the Boyn Grove Community and Resource Centre and Maidenhead Foodshare. They work with Men in Sheds, who are based on the same site. Men in Sheds is an initiative to combat loneliness by providing a space for men to connect and chat over practical tasks.
