It was a chilly old November day but that didn't stop 11 wonderful members of the Brompton team getting stuck into an awesome GoodGym session for the first time!

Today we headed for a lovely cycle along the canal from Brompton HQ in Greenford straight towards MindFood's site in Hanger Lane.

Mindfood are an Ealing based charity that supports people with depression, anxiety and stress to improve their wellbeing through gardening, mindfulness, horticulture & creativity. They had tons of great tasks around their site for us to help with and were all things that will really benefit everyone who uses the site in the future!

It was great to introduce the Brompton team to the such a great cause and get them out of the office on an urban adventure that will also benefit the local community!

We were on the Mindfood site for about an hour and half and what was achieved in that time was incredible! Here's just some of what we go up to:

• Draining and filling in an old pond

• Rebuilding a brick spiral planter

• Cutting up a HUGE black underlay for plant beds

• Weeding around the whole site

• Cutting up twigs

• Shifting compost around the site into planters

• And the biggest task of the day - Rehoming a very stubborn sage tree!

The team absolutely smashed it and I think they definitely they got just as much wellbeing for themselves as they will have provided to future visitors to MindFood by helping out!

Hopefully we'll see lots of them back on GoodGym in their local areas in the future.
