It took two to tidy this week, with GoodGymers heading to Castle School to clear parts of the grounds.

We rolled up our sleeves and got busy sweeping the leaves from the bike store (before picture) and entryway (after picture). 🍂

It was a strong effort and a very satisfying task. We'll be back next month for more 💪

GoodGym x This Girl Can

We called time on the curfew this week, running across Cambridge after dark to do some good 🙌

✨ Welcoming Beth to her first GoodGym session, we got lit up and set off to meet Caroline and Kei, who cycled to the task.

We were greeted by Alice from Turtle Dove who led us through the storage building maze to the locker of kit we were due to sort, where we found Ruth hidden behind stacks of boxes.

Turtle Dove support young women to gain work experience through hosting afternoon tea events, for groups ranging from 15 to over 100 people, so there is a lot of crockery needed! 🫖

We set to work sorting, counting and repacking hundreds of cups, saucers and side plates. It turned out to be a very calming and satisfying task, which will make running the events easier.

Alice excelled with the snack provision and we took a trip down memory lane, while enjoying a refuelling sweet treat. 🍪

We made a good start and look forward to returning in a few weeks to help finish the job 💪

This week, we returned to Castle School and continued our mission to clear up their green spaces. 🌱

We set to work de-weeding the borders around the driveway, tidying up and sweeping away the leaves that have started to fall with the change of season. 🍂

This week, we were overjoyed to welcome Daiana, Andrew and Kei 😃 So as well as all the digging, we had a lovely time chatting and getting to know one another. We made a great team and between us filled 2 wheelie bins with green waste! ♻️
