The Cement Garden
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Connecting Lives in Derby.
- Monday, 15th of November 2021
- Led by Derby runner
Gwyn and Tracey cycled to Derby Women's Centre to help out with clearing their garden. They bagged piles of rubbish including treasures such as a roll of wallpaper, a 2013 desk diary, some old computer monitors, a bag of solidified cement with an embedded mug and six bags of plant-based waste.
The Women's Centre has provided support for women for over forty years, and has also helped men who have been victims of domestic violence. They hold regular coffee mornings, exercise sessions and a knit and natter group. They have ambitions for the outdoor area to be an oasis of calm in a busy city.
