A lovely evening for a litter picking task to help out at one of the Colchester Borough Homes residences. We were also tasked with clearing sticks and twigs from the paths to help remove trip hazards for the residents. We managed to avoid the scattered rain showers thankfully and our four GoodGymers did a great job for which Linda at CBH was very thankful. It was also a chance to celebrate Frazer's fantastic achievement at the Paris marathon where he clocked in just under 4 hours! Well done Frazer!

We were delighted to have two new/ish GoodGymers join us this evening for some moss clearing. Well done to Henryfor his first and Lukefor his second task!

A lighter evening but still a slightly chilly one. We scrubbed and brushed at the moss around the grounds at Cherry Trees. This helped to keep ourselves warm and the residents safe.

Thanks all and see you next time!

A nice chilly jog up to Charles Smith House while we discussed running routes. Both Christian and Frazer did some impressive long runs at the weekend! We got to work brushing away at a big patch of slushy, slippery, sludgy moss and managed to clear the majority. A good deed done helping the residents stay safe in the wet weather. Well done team!

The January chill and darkness didn't deter us last night as two Goodgymmers made the rounds at Walnut tree house. Following a quick litter pick we set about clearing some moss in the seating area, with a little chat about Christmas and our daughters' woes.

Join us for a Tuesday night task soon!

A chilly but dry evening enjoyably spent clearing lots of leaves and scrubbing away moss at Plum Hall, Colchester Borough Homes. Autumn has truly arrived! We helped make the paths and pavement accessible and hopefully prevented them becoming slippery in the rain. Topics of conversation included how not to include a leaf pun in the run report title and philosophical bedtime stories for children!

On a scorching hot evening our depleted team of Sophie and I took a light jog down to Worsnop house for one our our borough homes jobs.

A quick sip of water, then down to some grouting between the pavement stones and clearing our weeds. In short time we made a much clearer space, before a stroll back to town and chat about weddings, jobs and what life is all about.

As always nice to get out and do some good, onto the next task...
