This evenings task was Goodgym all the way through - we were asked to help with some painting and decorating at Certitude, this was a new task for us and it was great to find out the task owner is also part of Goodgym, we're getting around!

The run was a fairly long 3.7km which the group absolutely smashed.

The task owner got us quickly to work, repainting the kitchen and an outside fence, luckily we brought some serious numbers. A solid job achieved by everyone we finished up and headed home.

Well done to everyone and looking forward to the next one.

I really can't thank you all enough. It was incredible what you all achieved in such a short space of time. The garden is looking so much clearer from the cutting back and fresher with the lick of paint on the fence. The toilet and kitchen painting is looking amazing and is well received by staff, the people we support and family members too. It really has made a huge difference and we are eventually going to turn the kitchen space into a relaxation/activity area by adding sensory lighting and equipment for everyone to enjoy! Thank you...thank you...thank you!
