Goodgym teamed up with the residents of Nightingale Estate to help tidy up the communal garden for older and isolated residents. This is the first time Goodgym have helped out Oakfield Lodge and there was a massive pile of branches left in the garden which the residents had no luck getting rid of. The call was made to Goodgym and we swooped in to help alongside the resident volunteers.
Branches were sorted into piles depending on size and put in the brown bins or big bags ready for collection by the council. After an hour we managed to clear the whole space and it made a huge difference. Well done all!
We will be back in the future to add to this garden's transformation.

Four goodgymers arrived on all hallows eve to help our friends at Nightingale Estate to maintain the abandoned gardens and tidy up the flower beds. In collaboration with This Girl Can's #LetsLiftTheCurfew some of us ran to 3km to Nightingale Estate through Hackney Downs Park. After a social run we joined with the rest of the Goodgym Team and Nightingale Volunteers to start on the task. After an hour we made a big difference. Well done all!

Four Goodgymers arrived this evening to help out the Nightingale Estate Volunteers with digging up of garden beds ready for planting. These beds have either been abandoned or need looking after for older residents.
Together we weeded, got rid of gravel, saved worms and turned over the soil ready for planting. Great job all!
Join us on our next session at Nightingale Estate on Halloween night and part of #LetsLiftTheCurfew to continue this project.
