Congratulations to Andy for completing his 50th Good Deed this evening! I will do my best to locate the glamorous rosette for the next task!

We managed to complete two Good Deeds in just 90 minutes this evening, with both a leaflet drop for Fratton Community Centre and some planting and litter picking for Make.

The dry conditions over the past few weeks made the soil in the Make garden difficult to turn over, but Jane's trips to and from the pub next door to fill up our water bottles helped soften things a bit.

With a bit of team work and a few different approaches, we managed to uproot a very dense but very dead plant, and replace him with some donated geraniums, petunias and begonias. The area was already looking much better after some other supporters of Make had been planting, but hopefully the last little corner will be looking lovely and bright as our donations bloom.

The birds were singing and the butterflies fluttering - Baffins is looking great. Glad to say there wasn't much litter this morning.

its amazing how much litter two goodgymers can find in just 30 minutes!

Two bin bags were filled, plus half a burnt traffic cone and a broken child's scooter picked up.

This week we've seen lots of activities for Diabetes Awareness Week, demonstrating true GoodGym spirit in the fight against diabetes.

Some of us opted for walks, whilst others opted for runs, and some bike rides too! A huge shout out to Tracey in demonstrating true warrior spirit, and to Lucy and Abby who took part in the Hoppit Half Marathon and Marathons.

Well done everyone. It's so good to see you all moving and making the most of the week!

How do you lose just one shoe or boot? It happens so often in our parks and green spaces 🧐

We found two on this sunny litterpick as well as food waste and paper from the nearby big billboard.

The grass and flowers have grown quite high here now presumably thanks to No Mow May. Beautiful but makes it a bit trickier to find the litter. Half an hour was all it took to make a difference.
