Our 2nd GoodGym task saw us returning to Northam Community Centre to carry out our original task of tidying up the outdoor space at the community centre. Fortunately, we were blessed with dry weather. Armed with litter pickers, brooms and trowels we were able to pick up all the litter and pull up a lot of weeds.

It was lovely to see Helen return for her 2nd official GG task, she managed to find a chair amongst the shrubbery! We also welcomed Sarah, a new GG member this evening. Wilson tackled a big bush and was sure she had done a fine job pulling out a pile of litter. Sarah then looked and retrieved a whole lot more.... some interesting objects from "the bush of plenty" - these included an unopened yoghurt, an earplug and a toothbrush!

Danielle the centre manager came out with her dog Rolo to also give us a hand. She was pleased that the grounds would look tidy for new visitors coming to the centre and Rolo was super happy to be running around.

An hour later and our GG team of five had the grounds looking spick and span!
