Tuesday 3rd June

Written by Laura Boldison

Ben, Hannah and Laura returned to Castle Street in Edgeley to complete a litter pick.

Another week of successfully dodging the rain, we filled 3 litter bags (mostly with mini wine bottles!) which we left next to the public bins to be collected by the council.

Another great session!

Cheering on Beechwood runners

Sunday 18th May

Written by Laura Boldison

Laura and Irfan spent a hot sunny day in Manchester cheering on the runners taking part in the annual Great Manchester Run.

In particular, we had T-shirts and signs to support the runners who were fundraising for Beechwood Cancer Care, a charity based in Stockport who provides support to those affected by cancer.

The crowds were fantastic and we enjoyed looking at all the fancy dress costumes!

Shed loads of weeding

Tuesday 6th May

Written by Ben Foster

Big welcome to Nicole for their first every GoodGym session! Well done for your first outdoor run in a while and great to have you along for the task with What If? in Stockport. Look forward to meeting you again soon.

Following the warm jog from Life Leisure Avondale, we arrived at What If? with a few different tasks required. After introductions and hearing about the things What If? get up to, we donned gloves and grabbed some gardening tools to remove lots of sticky willy otherwise known as Galium aparine from their community garden.

Once we had filled most of their compost bin and watered some courgette seedlings, we turned our attention indoors to help out with the big shed sort-out to catalog and label all the gardening and decorating tools that had accumulated. Ranging from rakes to spades and forks, plus lots of pots and hand tools, we made a decent dent in the big sort-out, so hopefully things are a bit more organised for future use.

Nicole stayed for a bite to eat and chat with the What If? crew while Maimoona and Ben made their way home. We hope to be back again soon!

Fits of giggles

Tuesday 15th April

Written by Laura Boldison

Tonight, Hannah-May, Laura and Mai returned to First Steps Pre School for the first time since 2018!

We took the scenic route down by the river and discovered a new path (when we were heading in the right direction 😂).

We helped with staining the fence in the lovely garden.

We met the lovely Helen and her daughter Ffion and over the course of 1.5 hours, discussed our lives in depth and told our funniest stories.

We hope to return to First Steps for future tasks! We received some lovely feedback from Helen after the session 😊
