3 GoodGymers met Heeley Development Trust's Rob on this sunny Sunday to help out with Heeley People's Park annual Big Boulder Festival. With trusty litter pickers we jammed our bags with rubbish. After collecting litter, we finished off our mission with a shout out to GoodGym as we helped collect donations from the crowd to go directly to charity Heeley Development Trust to maintain this lovely green space. Committed to enjoying the full event we sampled the delights of the festival including icecream, cider, hot tasty food, and listening to some great music acts :)

Heeley Development Trust (HDT) is a small, charitable development trust, founded by local volunteers, business people & residents in 1996. We have delivered youth, community, environmental and economic development projects in and around our neighbourhood for the last 20 years.

Our projects include; Heeley People's Park, Sum Studios (saving a Grade 2 listed Victorian School and redeveloping as managed work space – this is bringing jobs and investment into our community), The Heeley Voice - a local magazine and Recycle Bikes – a social enterprise supporting disengaged young people to gain training, confidence, work experience and jobs.
