On a very sunny Wednesday evening, 8 GoodGym Leeds members Liam, Rob, Rachael, Katie, Helen, Gemma, Alex and Suzie headed over to Open Source Arts on Kirkstall Road to help transform their fence and make the entrance more colourful and inviting.

On arrival, we were given a range of coloured paints, rollers and brushes and were given our instructions. We then split off in pairs, with paints and materials in hand, to tackle the rusty fence. It didn't take long for the paint to do its job, and for us all to see the transformation take place. The colours were amazing! After two hours of painting, the fence was looking great - and we had all managed to keep (most) of the paint on the fence and not on ourselves or the road.

In addition to having a great time at OSA, it was also a brilliant evening for active travel, with lots of walking, running and cycling!
