Bit of a windy drizzly one for a litter pick, but the four of us still managed to bag 6 sacks of rubbish! The usual suspects showed up: cans, bottles, and way too many fag ends…but but every piece picked up is one less polluting our planet.
We had lots of great conversations, including hearing all about James and Marcelle’s GoodGym Shindig trip. We came away feeling good about the difference we made – great work, everyone!
Also GoodGym Hat alert! Think you will all agree Marcelle is rocking the new headwear!

9 Coventry Goodgymers walked, ran and cycled to the Earlsdon Primary School allotment for a lovely evening in the sunshine. Our tasks for the evening were to dig, weed and rake in and around the raised beds so that they are ready for planting and continue working in the community allotment to get it ready for use!
Fantastic work everyone, we will back back again during the summer to support with maintaining the allotment so it can be used by the primary school children. Welcome to Mobi for your first session, see you again soon!

Eight amazing GoodGymers and Cameron, sprang into action to tame the overgrown secret garden at Stretton School.
Rumour had it there was a pond hidden somewhere beneath the brambles, and it became our mission to uncover it. And uncover it we did—though it was a bit more swamplike than we had hoped! Along the way, we discovered raised beds, a hose tap, and even a polytunnel still waiting to be revealed (a task for another day, as time wasn’t on our side).
We were thrilled to welcome Paul for his first session—he threw himself into the task like an absolute pro.
A beautiful evening spent in great company and good conversation.
Fantastic work, you superstars!

Five Goodgymers spent the evening helping out at the Positive Choices allotment - an amazing space they use to support young people, giving them fresh air, room to talk, and time to connect.
The allotment was looking a little unloved when we arrived, so we rolled up our sleeves! We weeded the beds and got to work with the wheelbarrows, moving woodchips to tidy up the paths around the planting areas.
Tucked away not far from a main road, it felt like a hidden little haven, birds singing, peaceful vibes, and all-round good energy. We didn’t quite manage to get everything finished, so we’re already planning a return visit to finish off!
Fab work team!!
