GoodGym Bath helped out at the Genesis Foodbank only recently but are always happy to come back if needed.
This time we were asked to deal with the weeds on the driveway- not only are they ugly, they also set off the alarms on the delivery trucks. Not ideal in the heart of the busy neighbourhood that is Oldfield Park.
We set to with a rather impressive edging tool and a common or garden trowel and made good progress until the hail came down in force.
Your intrepid team had to run for cover. We didn’t waste any time though - Hilary from Genesis had us collapsing cardboard boxes for recycling. They had held donations for the Foodbank, which helps people in Bath who are struggling during the cost of living crisis.
The skies cleared and we were able to clear a bit more path before home time. There’s still a bit more to do and no doubt we’ll be back before too long.
