6 super strong GoodGymmers came to get stuck in at Braunstone Community Primary School to help create an allotment of dreams.

The teachers plan to use the fantastic space they have to grow their own fruits and vegetables. The school have raised money to buy the polytunnel, which already had some hopeful seedlings planted by the children. They are even hoping to have a stall on the local market to raise funds for charity.

Fantastic turnout today, shout out to Gareth our newest member came back for his second helping of GoodGym.

This was a brand new task for us to work with after our friends at B-inspired Foodbank down the road from the school conveniently recommended us.

Everyone got stuck in moving tables out of the overgrowth and then clearing out all the weeds and brambles. Lots of tree identification going on with a cherry tree, Hazel and gooseberry bush to work around.

Fantastic work team, when GoodGymmers get on board more hands always make for a lighter load, same again next week.
