Woodhill Church

This bonfire night 5 Goodgym Members met at Woodhill Church To Help With An Outdoor Task 😊

A big Welcome to Ben who joined us for his first task, hopefully first of many 👍

Wayne & Olalekan get to the church a little early and were met by Jules who looks after all the projects around the church grounds.

First task was two get all the 40 compost bags from around the front of the church to the back of the church as they got delivered and dropped off at the wrong side. Wayne & Olalekan started to move them around after 2 rounds Olalekan asked if there was a wheel barrow available which we could load up and save us many trips back & forward. Jules did have one available which made life very easy. After 4 trips all 40 bags were brought to the bedding area. Julie, Stephanie & Ben had arrived at this point. At this point we followed instructions from our garden expert Julie. We placed the bags all along the perimeter and cut them open in readiness to spread the compost.

Above us in the night sky we can see and hear fireworks going off 🎇. Using forks and shovels we spread the compost all around the bedding. Withing 40 mins the job was completed.Jules was very grateful what would of taken her hours we done in no time 😊.

We put the tools away then Jules treated us all the some pasteries and bread which were very tasty ❤

All Aboard Club 🚋

All Aboard Club were back after the summer break and this morning Wayne & Stephanie joined Richard and his fellow volunteers at Brookwood to help; set up the train track for the kids to enjoy ❤️

The first task was was put out 20 chairs around the hall for the parents to sit and watch the kids have fun, once this was done the fun began. This was Stephanie first time helping out at All Aboard and she got stuck in.

We all started at different corners of the hall and started to lay the track hoping that at some point we will all connect up. The great thing about this task is you can not do it wrong every time we do this the track looks different 🚂 and today it looked great with many twist and turns and plenty of bridges. 😄

On behalf of GoodGym, five members, Anne, Wayne, Agathe, Stephanie, and Nadia, embarked on their first-ever cleanup mission at the Westfield community fridge. The group combined fitness with community service, running a total of 2.7 km (1.35 km each way) to and from the location.

Upon arrival, the group got to work, scrubbing 🧽 and sanitizing the fridge. Reverend Rachel shared with us that the community fridge has been having a significant impact, with increasing demand as of late. Despite the growing usage, the group's efforts transformed the fridge room into a spotless space ✨

The group's hard work and dedication were evident in the sparkling clean fridge room. With plans to return soon, the community fridge will continue to benefit from GoodGym's efforts. The run and cleanup not only contributed to the community but also provided an opportunity for the members to stay active 🏃‍♀️👟 and engaged in giving back.
