Getting Up To Sctatch
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Community centre sensory garden in Redbridge.
- Saturday, 4th of June 2022
- Led by Redbridge runner
Post ParkRun James and Linda cycled from Valentines Park to Loxford Community Centre. We had been asked to help clear the little yard at the side which had become overgrown with brambles.
We set off with our clippers to clear as much as we could in the hour allotted. Despite wearing good gloves it is an impossible job to do without getting scratched and what would have been a peaceful session was punctuated with the odd exclamation and expletive as we both got systematically punctured.
Despite the minor abrasions it was a rewarding session, we got a fair bit cleared including part of a broken bench and half a massive shrub that James got out in one go.
The task owner was very pleased saying she was glad she had found GoodGym as by saving the center from using professional help meant they could provide some of their own services free of charge for people in need.
