Last night was another truly fabulous evening spent out in our community joining forces with local residents, local councillors, community champions and church leaders. I wonder whether the turnout might be significantly reduced as it was week 2, but it wasn't. Our community did us proud.

It was great to see Nahashon back, this week proudly wearing his new Goodgym T-shirt. Kat also returned back for her second week, despite the very wet inauguration she had on her first week with us. Great to see you both again!

The fabulous Pastor David of the Lighthouse Centre is heading up this huge project and his enthusiasm and drive is simply infectious. Last night, one of the volunteers was telling Emma about the plans and vision for the building and outside space and it's simply amazing! It will incredible when it's completed and something that the community can be extremely proud of.

Last night we spent more time clearing the outside space - mainly taking up weeds from the guttering and weeding some of the grassy areas. We had the hoes, the spades, the rakes and the brushes all set to work (and it was quite physical, let me tell you as some of those weeds were whoppers!). As always on a Goodgym task, it wasn't without chatter and laughter. It was really lovely to meet some more new people and we really are proud to be part of this amazing project.

We're looking forward to the next couple of weeks when we can spend more time back there and we look forward to the day when we can hopefully get inside the building too.

Well done team for another amazing effort You are all awesome and I love spending my Wednesday nights with you.

See you soon.

Lots of love, Nicola xx
