We were kindly invited back to Stockport's newly opened Ideas Café, What If? after we first visited the space a few weeks ago.

Sian, Ben and Laura got to work painting the railings outside a lovely shade of red, sporting ghostbuster costumes! When the rain unexpectedly came, we dashed inside and used our excess wet paint on wooden panels to be used as signs.

Meanwhile, Bee, Hannah and Meera joined three lovely ladies from Grit Studios to help organise their new share shop of craft items - the colour coordination was very pleasing! They then added bright pink labels and the naming of categories led to intense discussion!

Once again, it was an uphill struggle back to the start, with plenty of walking breaks!

The wonderful folk at The Grit studios are part of a new collaboration - creating a community centre and talk shop in Edgeley and needed some help to transform the building so it was fit for purpose.

We scraped ans cleaned, swept and chatted.

We ran and undulating run to the venue, followed by an uphill struggle back!

Last night, after a day of heavy summer rain, GoodGym Stockport met, ready to take part on round two of helping the Friends Of High Lane Residents Association to clear a plot of land ready for some beautiful sunflowers to be planted.

Laura - as part of her Run Leader Training led the run with enthusiasm and got us to the start point of the task.

We dug, shifted, barrowed and even made a hopping frog friend along the way!

It was amazing to hear the vision of the display from one of the group and we look forward to seeing the finished area.
