Steve, Amanda, Michelle and Tessa joined forces with local volunteers to tidy up Vale Rd Cemetery. You wood not believe what they achieved in just 90 minutes!
Some GoodGymers were logging up their second visit to the cemetery having participated in a previous clean up. This time they got to the root of the problem and tackled large trees and shrubs that have previously looked impossible. The team hacked and chopped until they were able to bring an old grave back into the sunlight.
As we think this week about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, it feels all the more important to do something to care for the final resting place of those that have come before us. The work to transform Vale Road Cemetery isn't complete yet but it's looking so much better.
