Five Go Weeding

Tuesday 5th November

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Tonight the fab 5 were back at the Secret Garden, helling out tidy the area for the local community group. We swept away the leaves, weeded the public paths and steps and made the area look great.

The task owner, Pat, was there with us and treated us to some sweets, hot chocolate and sparklers, a real firework night treat.

Can You Keep a Secret?

Tuesday 20th August

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Tonight 7 GoodGymers were back at the Secret Garden in Newtown, in what seemed a very overdue visit!

After a little run and walk we were greeted by community builder Pat, who put us to work weeding, sweeping, painting and cutting - getting the area back up to spec!

A huge thank you and welcome to another 2 members this week, Charlotte and Sally, we loved having you with us and we hoped you enjoyed the session.

We're back at the secret garden next Tuesday (27th), to do some weeding on the public paths and stairs - followed by a social drink to celebrate 5 years of doing good in Exeter.

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Tonight, Lucy and I were back at the secret garden doing a spot of weeding and clearing. Highlight of the night was Lucy tackling the Ivy lights, untangling them ready to use. We were also joined by a new community builder, Debbie, who we’ve helped before at Newtown Preshool - she’ll have some projects for us soon!

Mossing Around

Tuesday 12th December 2023

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Tonight, 3 GoodGymers were back helping Newtown Community with some urgent accessibility work. A path had become so covered with Moss that it wasn’t safe for the residents to use without slipping. We tooled up and cleared the area, and you can see the pictures for yourself! We made a huge difference!
