We brandished our litter pickers and picked an inordinate amount of cigarette butts on tonight's task!

After making our way down the road and chats (including a story featuring butts of a different type!) we headed for Stretford Public Hall to make sure things were looking tidy ahead of their upcoming heritage event.

Satisfied with our handiwork we headed back to base and chatted about our upcoming tasks which are featured on our listings page.

Thanks and well done everyone!

Well done to our crack team of Goodgym Guerilla Gardeners who helped Stretford Public Hall tidy up there outside area last evening.

After a run/ walk we weeded, tidied and swept up the area near the front of the Hall. Check out our before and after photos!

Thanks and well done all, Kate xx

Last night we helped Friends of Stretford deck the Public Hall with lots of festive decorations! Well done and thanks

Tonight we headed to Stretford Public Hall to help them tidy up their pocket patch ready for the chilly season. 3 barrows later and we had lopped, chopped and trimmed our way round the entire plot!

Add in a run and chat and that's good going for a Wednesday evening.

Thanks and well done!

Last night the Goodgym Trafford crew returned to St Ms to finish working on the raised bed.

Armed with some daffodil bulbs and a brush we planted up a storm and look forward to seeing the fruits of our labour in Spring!

Thanks and well done all!

ELFING OUT FEELS GOOD!

9 of our ace GoodGymers jingled all the way down to Stretford Public Hall last night to help them deck the halls ready for their Christmas light switch on this Friday!

We met as usual at St Matthew's Community Hall in Stretford at 6.30pm where we were filled with festive cheer to welcome new GoodGymer Lauren to the team and also tourist Pete (from our lovely neighbours GoodGym Stockport). Great to have you on board both!

We also started our joint donation campaign for Streford Foodbank - we'll be collecting over the next week so give us a shout if you've got stuff to give. Thank you 

Once we'd snaffled an extra tree decorating task at St Matthews (two tasks are always better than one!) and donned our festive head gear, we warmed up and chatted about our news which included an update from Fiona about the seasonal Festive Community mission she was part of over the weekend. You can read her report here - thanks for stepping in and getting ready to tumble that tombola!

As this was our regular walkable task almost as soon as we had set off we we arrived in the shake of a reindeer's tail at the beautiful Stretford Public Hall where we were met by Jo who explained about the history of the Hall. It was built by John Rylands to say thank you to the local community and in more recent years has been taken over by Friends of Stretford Public Hall who raise funds for its upkeep and renovation. Jo then guided us to our task which included decorating the frankly massive Christmas tree, drinking tea and chatting to all the other people from community groups who were using the Hall.

Once we'd completed that we cantered (yes literally) back up to St Matthews where we cooled off and decorated tree number two!

Be proud of yoursELVES!

We're booked up until Christmas now but are very much on the look out for tasks in the new year...so give us a shout! Until next time,

Be good to yoursElf and others too.
