Not even the rain could stop this brilliant bunch from getting stuck in at Saffron Acres today! Armed with gloves, loppers, and determination, half of us took on the tangled brambles and helped clear the way for the community space, the other half chopped the brambles ready for composting.
A big shoutout to Dave for keeping his word and sorting out the broken tap on the water butt, Saffron really appreciated it. Great job, Dave!
Also for Mo, whoโs just completed his third good deed, clocking in an impressive 9km run. Keep up the efforts Mo!
As a well earned reward, we did a bit of foraging and came away with some tasty autumn treats ๐๐ natureโs way of saying thanks.
Weldone everyone we really made a difference yet again and the rain didn't stop play.

Six superstar GoodGymmers hit the Age UK Superstore in Leicester this week, ready to roll up their sleeves for another productive morning of volunteering.
Our tasks? Sorting play pens of tops into short sleeve and long sleeve piles and untangling a jungle of hangers, complete with size cubes. Precision, patience, and plenty of laughter got the job done.
A good catch up for everyone, lots of stories of the Equinox24 a 24hr trail race, from midnight Mel marshalling duties soaked in rain and windswept to Stu's amazing milestone of hitting 60k over six laps, he was well prepared with 1000 miles of training.
A massive well done team, everyone got stuck in as always more hands making a lighter load. Age UK are always full of praise for the difference we make. From sorting sleeves to swapping stories, we proved once again that teamwork makes the dream work!

A great time spent with Rich & Pete from CRT, who with seven of the Leicester GG team got cracking cutting back the overgrown vegetation blocking the towpath and clearing up the rubbish. Dave saved a Hobby Horse from its watery demise - made a change from the usual shopping trolleys that we pull out of the water. Rich enjoyed his first Leicester session and will be back ๐ค Todays tally of retrieved rubbish: 13 coconuts, 8 bags of rubbish, 3 chairs and 1 Horse! Well done Nick, Julie,Melanie,Dave,Stu,Rich + Jen.
