This week we were on Timpron street with Vicky from Litter Clear Volunteer with an array of tasks to do!

After what sounded like very hectic day for Vicky she arrived with various tools to help us clear the local area. Some of us set to work litter picking whilst some weeded and planted in the beautiful raised beds and another group of us began to clear the tarmac of weeds.

It was clear that there were some flower beds hidden beneath the weeds and moss and we were soon using whatever tools necessary to scrape back and reveal some beautiful Diamond shaped flower beds!!

Excellent work team we not only tidied the place up but were able to reveal some real beauty in this unassuming street corner. We will be back to help Litter Clear Volunteer tidy up another patch of Liverpool soon!

Goodgym Liverpool have several times now helped out at events with charity The Choir With No Name, a national charity which provides music, food, and community to people who are unhoused or otherwise in need of a bit of extra support. We're well acquainted with the Liverpool branch, and this Wednesday we made a long awaited visit to a classic weekly CwNN rehearsal session, where we were enlisted to lend a hand, and get involved with the amazing work they do. After some miscellaneous setting up of tables and chairs, Bekah split off to brave the kitchen, where she helped Choir volunteers to cook up a hearty meal of spaghetti for the whole group. Meanwhile, the rest of us kept busy reorganising the storage cupboard, finishing up just in time to join in with some (quite challenging..!) singing alongside the Choir. After the practice, we joined the group for a lovely communal meal, and helped out with the washing and clearing up.

It was amazing and inspiring to finally get to experience the work that CwNN does on a weekly basis, and massive thanks to the indefatigable Ema, who has brought the Choir together with Goodgym through her work for both charities. We're always keen to attend CWNN events, and hope to lend support at plenty more sessions like this in the future..!
