We had out annual Xmas evening at Redmayne View Housing with Care.

There were plenty of residents dressed up up Xmas hats, reading for a fun fulled evening.

We started with a few games of Bingo then turned it up a notch by singing various Christmas Carols to finish off the evening.

Merry Christmas everyone.

GoodGym Norwich visited Dell Rose Court Housing with Care, for an evening of spreading festive joy by singing Christmas songs with their tenants.

What a wonderful evening and thank you everyone for being part of it.

This evening we started another new community garden project, this time on Union Street. We love to start new projects and see them develop over time.

A big welcome to Talan who was completing their first good deed with is.

Well done everyone!

We visited a site on Shipstone Road to help start a new community garden project.

Congratulations to Nicole for completing her 50th good deed!!!!

We made a great difference to the area - clearing an overgrown flower bed and clearing the pathways.

A local resident brought us out some chocolate at the end, which was an extremely kind gesture.

Tonight 13 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 6km to Burges Road Community Garden.

The list of tasks to complete this evening were sieving soil, planting tomatoes, reshaping and digging a path, and raking soil to level out the new raised beds.

There was a lot of raking involved In order to make the raised beds level, we even used a spirit level to make sure we were doing an accurate job!

But the transformation in 1 hour was fantastic, with a new path dug out ready for the team of engineers arriving next month.

If I had to pick a soundtrack to tonight, it would be 'This Garden' by the Levellers.

Well done team on the hottest day of the year!!

Tonight 11 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to support Aslake Growers Community Garden.

With a lot of recent rain there were plenty of overgrown areas than needed some attention. We split into groups around the site to pull up any weeds and unwanted plants.

The sycamore had become particularly invasive, growing to heights over 2 metres so Alina took on the task of cutting it back with loppers and a saw.

The raised beds were given a thorough tidy up, with more soil added and sifted ready for planting.

And the perimeter bank of the building was completely cleaned up, pleasing some GoodGymer's who were able to work at waist height without any back aches!

Shout out to Katy and Bill who brought with them freshly picked gooseberries for us all to take home, along with some black currants and cucumbers from the community garden. Tuck in everyone!
