Goodgym Barnet embarked on a mission from the Phoenix cinema with a noble goal: gorilla planting of wild pollinating plants. Armed with seeds and plants generously provided by the Finchley Pollination Project, we set out to transform a neglected side road into a vibrant haven for local wildlife. So much fun!

Despite the challenging weather—a mix of April showers and a brisk wind—the spirit of camaraderie and determination shone through. Led by , Antonio we tackled litter and weeds with gusto, making way for our native wildflowers to thrive. Paul and Caroline guided us with their expertise, ensuring our efforts would leave a lasting impact.

As we planted and persevered, the elements couldn't dampen our enthusiasm. Antonio even led us in various exercises, adding an extra dose of fun to our mission. And just when we needed it most, a stunning sunset graced the horizon, a fitting reward for our hard work and dedication.

But our journey doesn't end there. While the weeds may put up a fight, we're confident that with time and care, our wildflowers will triumph, much like we did on our run back home. So, if you're ready to make a difference while having a blast, join us for our next adventure. Together, we can turn neglected spaces into thriving ecosystems, one run at a time. See you there!

Twelve Runners looked to support the citizens advice barnet (CAB) by delivering leaflets to nearby streets in Hampstead Garden suburb and East Finchley. We warmed up and played truth or lie before hitting the streets. Do we really have a professional American football player, somebody born in Iran, somebody whose favourite colour is purple, a Portuguese terrorist and a fugitive from the Mexican authorities?

looks like some of us might be needing cab ourselves!

The Citizens Advice Barnet is a charity that provides free, independent, and impartial advice to millions of people every year in communities across England and Wales. Let’s hope some of our leafleting finds some generous supporters. Certainly, the security cars in the local Streets were interested in what we were doing- one even asked for a leaflet! We managed to deliver most of the leaflets before having to return back to the Phoenix Cinema for a little stretch.

thanks to the two runners from the citizens advice barnet Louise and Jack come again soon! Well done for your work in the community!

Great to see Ben, Francesco, Penny and Abby again! Give them a cheer!

To end some of us had hot chocolate at the Phoenix Cinema. Yummy!

Thanks to all for coming running and doing some good!
