Four Goodgymers spent a sunny Saturday morning helping to clear the outside area of Bedfont Community Centre in Feltham, so that it can be used and enjoyed by families over the summer months.

Centre Manager Carol and her partner and Granddaughter met us with tools and refuse bags. Three new friends of GoodGym, We all got stuck in straight away clearing the paving stones of unwanted weeds, removing litter and uncovering many a snail shell - at a safe distance from Lucy.

While we worked there was lots of chatter, mostly from Carol’s 6 year old grand daughter, who told us all about the animals she likes (snails and ponies and puppies) and by her reactions we learned all about her least preferred (spiders of any size). By the end of the 90 minutes we had helped to clear a lot of the weeds and Carol’s grand daughter had learnt 3 useful phrases in Spanish (with lots of practicing out loud) thanks to Luis and some help from Lucy.
