Barrow-loads of Goodness!

Friday 20th June

Written by Sarah

Today, a brilliant team of six GoodGym volunteers got stuck in at Saffron Acres, supporting their amazing community food growing project.

We tackled the sensory garden with some serious weeding skills and filled 6 wheelbarrows full of green waste that I did attempt to get on top of the compost.

Shout out to Jenny on her first GoodGym good deed, weldone getting stuck and she's already signed up for next week, brilliant! So lovely to catch up in the sunshine while making a difference fantastic efforts all round!

Bimble Bramble

Friday 11th April

Written by Sarah

A good session catching some rays and boosting our vitamin D at Saffron Acres. Today's task was clearing most of the old bramble patch.

The Goodgymmers were in their element with nature finding a sleeping hedgehog, old birds nest and both their bee hives swarmed and flew off while we were there.

Weldone everyone fantastic efforts as always, see you next time.

4 fantastic Goodgymmers helped the Barley escape the weeds.

Last season we helped prepare the site to grow the Barley for beer, so very rewarding to see the growth and help it thrive saffronacres.

Weldone all enjoyed that now off to the GoodGym Shindig! Weekend of all things GoodGym.
