Had a great time at Vauxhall Community Gardens. It was a pleasure spending time with Melvin, who gave me a lovely insight into thier mission purpose. Running a food bank for the community to help with thier weekly food shop, which is a growing issue for many people.
The exercise ๐ช pays off to a great cause!! ๐๐๐ซก

It was a very productive morning spent sorting out the Centreโs storeroom. We made great progress organising the many donations that have come in over the past few weeks.

Another cracking Lambeth GoodGym outing in the books! ๐
We rolled back up to help Tom and the Lambeth Parks crew tackle the edging and clearing at St Matthew's Peace Garden ๐ช โ and honestly, if you haven't seen this place, get down there, it's an absolute stunner.
Yianny, Michael, Jo, Adam and Nicole got stuck in and we filled that two-tonne bag right to the brim(ish)... and STILL had work spare. So, in the immortal words of a certain Austrian action hero: "We'll be back." ๐ฆพ
Huge congrats to Nicole for smashing her 10th good deed! ๐๐ Double digits and still going strong โ the good deeds just keep on coming.
Massive welcome back to Tilly, freshly returned from her wedding! ๐ฅฐ๐ We even had the pleasure of meeting the new hubby, and she rocked up with home-baked treats to celebrate โ and officially kick off the Lambeth Bake Off sweepstakes ๐ฐ๐ (early odds are already fierce).
A gorgeous evening, great company, and another job well done. Another one bites the... weed. ๐งฐโค๏ธ

A regular GoodGymer joined our friends at VGCC to help serve local residents at the food bank. The session came with an unexpected highlight when one customer arrived with a tiger in tow, cue a few renditions of Eye of the Tiger! While the tiger grabbed the attention, it was the 106 people we helped support that left the biggest impression, a stark reminder of how many people are relying on food banks during difficult times. A valuable morning of community spirit, kindness and practical support. ๐๐ฏ๐ฅซ๐โโ๏ธ

A regular GoodGymer lent a hand at Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre, helping prepare for the food bank session. From sorting supplies to getting the space ready, they helped make sure everything was set to welcome the community. A simple act of kindness that helped keep things running smoothly for local people. ๐๐
