Fresh Coat for a bright start

Monday 3rd November

Written by JULIA GLEESON

This evening’s GoodGym crew headed over to the local primary school to help give some tired walls a well-deserved refresh.

Paul, Stéphane and the school’s friendly facilities manager, Richard, rolled up their sleeves and got straight to work in the main hall, carefully transforming the space surrounding the noticeboards with some smooth fresh cream paint.

Meanwhile, Paula, Mel, Megan, Barbara and I tackled the cloakroom, turning what started as a scuffed and well-used area into a clean, welcoming space ready for the children’s coats and bags. With teamwork, laughter and a bit of friendly paint-splatter competition, we made great progress.

By the end of the session, both the hall and cloakroom looked brighter and fresher, Huge thanks to everyone who came along — and to Richard for keeping us supplied with brushes, rollers and also to Head Teacher , Helen for staying on too.

Another productive evening of doing good and getting paint on our sleeves (in the best way)!

Splash-tastic Start to a Pier-fect Evening

Monday 27th October

Written by JULIA GLEESON

On a chilly but calm late October evening, a small but mighty GoodGym Worthing crew gathered at Splashpoint Leisure Centre, ready for sone beach debris haul.

Ricky headed off for a run and did 3 laps of the pier before I had even got there!

Before we’d even set off, our first discovery of the evening appeared — a shopping trolley sitting proudly right by our meeting point! Gillybean and Stéphane wasted no time in returning the trolley to M and S !

Once we’d had a laugh at our unexpected find, we headed off towards the pier to tackle the litter lurking beneath. Armed with gloves, grabbers, and good humour, we filled a couple of bags with rubbish, driftwood, and all sorts of seaside debris. Belinda and Paul headed on a secret mission to check out an unexpected stationary object on the beach but luckily it was just a large rock sitting on there beach!

"A trolley good effort" from a small but powerful team — proving once again that when it comes to looking after our lovely seafront, GoodGym Worthing always cleans up nicely! 🧹❤️

Huge thanks to everyone who came out on a cool October evening to lend a hand — you’re all pier-fect! 🌊👏
