Report written by Michael
With a bit of rain threatening to run today we were hopeful that it would stay away enough for the task to be a success. Not to be put off, we decided that rain or shine - you can't touch this!
8 goodgymers today split into three groups, we had ourselves a couple of cyclists, a couple of walkers (honestly we didn't just pick people off the street on the run), and finally 4 runners. Today was also a SPECIAL farewell run for Nicholas who was off to pastures new at the end of the week.
Within no time at all we had arrived at the task, after chatting about our lovely bank holiday weekends and the adventures that we had over the days.
Our task tonight was to help out at the wonderful Cwtch Together, they had been hit by the great force of nature and needed some helpful volunteers to clear up. Cwtch Together is a disability play project held in the centre of Cardiff which promotes inclusive play and socialisation for disabled children and their families. It's therefore important that the ground outside is nice and can be used as much as possible.
Our Tasks
Clear the leaves (as much as possible)
Remove any stingy things
Weed in between the paving
Move the bags of slate over to the stepping stone area
Everyone was busy today, spreading out over the ground to do their work. Leaves were flying, 'some' people were getting carried away with the weeding devices.....and the brave few took to picking the nettles. How do you pick a nettle? Very carefully!
It was soon time to put the tools away, quickly show our lovely host for the day Sarah what we had done and plan a return trip soon. It was great to be back at Cwtch, it had been quite a while since we'd been here putting up the sheds.
we are a registered charity #1182360 and run Saturday play sessions for children with additional needs and their families, with qualified play workers who facilitate play while parents are able to talk and meet like minded parents/carers, we offer support and advice for parents.
