GoodGym were happy to return to Margaret Matthew’s Court once more, to help spruce up the gardens which were set on a little river and next to woodland.

Jason, Becky, Stuart and Helen were joined by some of the residents who came out to help and chat...Ms S told us how happy she was to go the dentist (delayed due to Covid) and get her new teeth at last! Ms P also helped us as we dug the lovely new raised allotment bed and planted lettuce, herbs, radish and even garlic. Jason and Becky sorted out the garden near the social area and Stuart planted up the pots by reception.

Mr J also came outside and pointed out the roses for pruning and showed us round his garden and compost area. Lots more work to be done, so sure we’ll be back to help out soon.
