When Councillor Vicki Slade puts a shout out on the local community facebook page for helping hands who you gonna call? GoodG ym Poole of course, who are always happy to step up to the task.
Yesterday Esther represented the team and with paint brush in hand got painting the old youth club chairs . This evening Patricia and Elizabeth met up early and enjoyed a 5k run through the beautiful Delph Woods on what may well be the final day of summer weather.
At 6.15 we arrived at the Broadstone Youth Club where Vicki explained what needed doing. Our mission was to give a final coat of paint to the club chairs . Originally a 1970’s orange-brown blend they are being upcycled a shiny grey with liquorice allsort and jelly bean fabric cushion covers, definitely a transformation.
We were joined at the centre by guest Poole goodgym member Kirsty who had attended the youth club every week as a teenager. She has photographic evidence to prove it and its fantastic to think that with all the volunteer hours given during lockdown the centre will be able to reopen and welcome another generation of youngsters.
