Bamboozled

Hackney Report written by anne malcolm

With spring just round the corner, there was plenty to do in the Mary Seacole Nursing Home garden and there was a wonderful bumper crop of GoodGymers on hand to help out. Particular shoutout goes to Ishbel, who joined us today for her first ever GoodGym task.

The session started with three working groups. The first were tasked with planting a number of bamboo plants along the back fence to soften the view. John, Audrey, Louise and Yaz soon realised that the soil could have done with some softening up too but with considerable effort and perseverance, they got the ground prepped for planting.

Meanwhile, the second group (variously Sooz, Nathan, Grace and Anne) got stuck in to prepping the planters in the middle of the garden for a fresh lick of paint. This task required a special trip to the local supplier of heavy duty sandpaper and wire brushes (thank you Nathan).

The main event, however, was the grand gazebo assembly, for which there was considerable prep-work. So the third group (which comprised a shifting membership of helpers needing a break from digging and sanding), got stuck in, painting bitumen onto the Gazebo's feet to protect against the wet soil and the elements, while task leader, Varda, diligently studied the instructions to ensure everything was assembled correctly.

During this time, a tug of war broke out in bamboo corner, with several GoodGymers trying to liberate pot-bound bamboos. The comment, 'It's like the turnip story', required some explanation but did ring bells when retold.

Eventually, the point we had all been waiting for came, when bits of gazebo had to be attached to one another. The two 'short' sides (3m long) were assembled first and then moved into location, before the longer beams were added to hold the short sides together. Ladders and chairs were enlisted to give the height necessary to put bolts in place. The morning finished with the dance of the heavy-weight lifters, to nudge and jiggle and ultimately maneouver the now tall, heavy, and rather awkward structure into a reasonably stable position.

It was agreed this was as far as we could progress the gazebo assembly for today (step 5 of 26!) so look out for more listings to play your part in the making of the gazebo very soon!

A big thanks and well done to everyone who who came along this morning and got stuck in. It was great fun and a real team effort.

Rusty GoodGymer Gets Back on Track at The Felix Project!

Tower Hamlets Report written by Audrey (she/her)

I had a fantastic time at The Felix Project. I learnt the ropes from Denis, a super friendly and supportive staff member. He helped me assemble my first food order before I moved on to helping others with theirs. The collaborative and friendly atmosphere, from staff to fellow volunteers, made this task both productive and enjoyable. And to add to how good I felt about giving time again, I (unexpectedly?!) got to do some strength training too! What a way to get back to GoodGym!

3 Goodgymers and 3 documentary-makers made their to Westminster to help distribute clothes to rough sleepers

Westminster Report written by Audrey (she/her)

Moona, Holly and I helped Andrea distribute the boxes of clothes she'd been holding on for a while. Three students who were there to make a documentary also lent us a hand. Andrea seemed happy to get both logistical and moral support as she was anxiously awaited by a number of regulars and newcomers. It was difficult to make sure everyone got something that suited their needs but we did our very best, distributing smiles alongside clothes wenever we got a chance!
