Southampton Report written by Lauren
Goodgym Southampton is one year old today!! 🎉🎂
To celebrate we went to city farm with an army of goodgymers ready and eager to help with whatever task Tom may have had in mind for us. We were pretty sure it was going to be more goat mountain shenanigans but were shocked when farm volunteer Danni mentioned that this evening we would be helping put all the animals to bed and meeting them all by means of celebration and thankyou.
We were thoroughly spoilt - getting to feed the sheep and goats, getting walked by the new pygmy boys, putting the chickens and ducks to bed and meeting all the reptiles from the blue tongued skink to the gecko and giant african land snail.
After our tour of the farm we were kindly given use of the community room to celebrate our birthday with cake and drinks kindly supplied by Energise Me and Ellie.
We were also delighted to see Paul and Simon back with us after last weeks litter pick and to welcome Aimee for her first goodgym task.
Its been an incredible year with 157 tasks(!!!). Heres to seeing what year two brings!

Wow what an evening!
We had a gap in the diary this evening with no community organisation based tasks so decided to do our first litter pick.
Living directly behind an alley which is regularly frequented with litter that solo attempts make little difference to i was keen to get it sorted for a task.
We were joined this evening by two lovely newbies Simon and Paul who forgo both climbing and the pub to join us!
Its fair to say we were kept busy for the full hour. We had separate bags for recycling cans (which ellie is going to take to the air ambulance collection) general waste and glass.
We filled several very big bags and had a great time chatting along the way. A real noticeable difference has been made to the local community, well done team!
