As Anji (GG Area Activator) or my Dad would tell you, I can definitely be a fair weather GoodGymer but I actually really loved this morning!
This time of year can feel quite dull especially with the dark mornings and rubbish weather. So even though it was tipping it down with rain, I decided to get out on my bike and cycle across to the allotments at Bill Quay.
I met the task owner Bryony from North East Wilds who was absolutely lovely and so welcoming, along with her dog Charlie.
I was then met by Lucy and Amy. A HUGE congratulations to Lucy for reaching a fantastic fifty good deeds!
The allotment is used by a lot of different groups in the community. The job that we decided to get involved with was clearing an area of wooden posts which were rotten and untidy.
We got stuck in with lots of digging and teamwork with pulling the wooden posts out of the ground. It was hard work but very satisfying as you can see in the photos!
We were all very muddy and wet by the end of it, but it was such a good feeling that we were able to help.
Aiming to get people of all ages spending more time outdoors and immersed in nature to improve their mental health and wellbeing
