Weeding and feeding
5 GoodGymers made their way to help their local community in Bournemouth.

Five Goodgymmers, Mohammed, Eleanor, Caprice, Keith and Lea, joined Ruth at St Augustine’s church in glorious weather today, perfect for some weeding… well, some?!?! Yikes, we filled nearly two wheeley bins! Some of us on our knees, others with bums in the air, with gloves, without gloves (!), little forks and big forks, we all worked hard. Those weeds didn’t stand a chance. There was a homeless person from Vietnam in one corner of the church garden. Keith and Mohammed tried to talk to him. Mohammed even went and bought him some food. Not the Goodgym task he had signed up for, but certainly a very worthwhile cause. When we left, Ruth’s parting words “oh, I’ve got zillions more things to do” sounded like music to our ears. Yes, Ruth, we will be back. Everyone, thank you for all your hard work and happy chatter!

Thank Mohammed, you did well to earn his confidence and set him at ease to talk about his situation. Give the relatives, the needy and the travellers their due”. (Bani Israil:26)
