we expertly cleaned the chairs and it was such a warm day that the hot air dried them off in no time

At the end of the Hottest Sale of the year , Goodgym Brent arrived at Traid in Kilburn. We packed up the unsold clothes in record time , the very definition of fast fashion. There was no time for hanging around as we packed up hangers . We gave a very warm welcome to Danielle for her first ever goodgym session .

Beatriz was very hot , and only had one fully functional arm, but still tidied more than her fair share of clothes and hangers.

Many hands made light work so we wrapped up within the hour and had a cool drink in a beer garden nearby.

Great work ! We will be back in three months to do it all again !

Samina, Tabitha and Pete met at Beer n Burger and jogged about 3km to the Abbey Community Centre where Jason told them what needed to be done in the garden. We met Beatriz there and Lee arrived soon after. The garden is lovely with great beds, a greenhouse and loads of pots around the edges. Pete and Beatriz were watering with hosepipe and watering cans.,later joined by Samina. Lee Tabitha and Samina were weeding. It was a nice evening and lots got done. We walked back and had a nice drink at Beer n Burger (and Lee had chips, naturally). Great job!

Samina, Tabitha, Chris, Pete and Christian joined Jack at Corsham Sheltered Housing in Wembley to distribute soil into the raised beds to get them ready for planting in May. Much time was spent shovelling soil into wheelbarrows then taking them up to the raised beds and tipping the soil in. We welcomed Christian for the first time who came all the way from Kingston and did a great job. At the end we put the tools away. The beds are looking much better now. Well done everyone.

Tabitha , Chris , Beatriz , Nouri and Pete helped Jack from Seeds of growth shift around 1500 litres of soil into a raised bed We took it in turns filling barrows , walking them to the beds and shifting the soil .

This will help elderly residents be able to plant flowers this Spring .

There is plenty more to do so we will be coming back twice more: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-brent-moving-soil-into-raised-beds-for-elderly-residents-in-brent and https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-brent-bank-holiday-soil-shifting-and-shaking
