On Monday evening Goodgym Brent ran/walked to Queens Park, where we met Shuwanna, a Queens Park Community conucil repreesntative.
The Queen’s Park Voice is the community newsletter, delivering news and opportunities to the 5000+ households in the ward. We had helped deliver a few weeks ago, and were back to finish the job. We split into two teams, divided the leaflets, and delivered to the houses.

Once we had completed the job ,we jogged back to Willesden Green

They are ever grateful for our help in delivering leaflets

Amir, Samina, Tabitha, Liz, Josh. and Pete met at Beer n Burger, we were to meet Beatriz at Brent Mencap. It was Amir's first Goodgym so a warm welcome to Amir from Goodgym Brent. Liz was also returning for a one off session from the wild's of south London so a warm welcome to her too, our previous run leader. Liz did the warm up, then Josh lead the jog with Tabitha back-marking about 1k to Brent Mencap,where we met Beatriz. Tabitha briefed us on the work to do in the Brent Mencap garden. We moved the heavy garden table and chairs off the gravel area, raked and brushed the gravel, using the tools provided, covered over the showing black asphalt, swept the paths, re-distributed the gravel, then replaced all the table and chairs, in neat order. Very luckily the rain held off! Beatriz left, Pete lead the jog back and lead the cool-down, then we had a quick drink and collected our stuff from the kind B & B staff who had kept it safe for us. Well done everyone 👏, until next week.

Goodgym Brent on a sunny Monday evening and jogged 2km to Mora Road Primary School. The painting and jetwashing tasks were not ready for us, so we made a tree-mendous effort at sweeping the playground. We swept up the leaves and any rubbish, ensuring the local primary school children can play happily without slipping. Great job everyone!

After a weekend whirl of sunshine, Monday reminded the crew it was still April with icy winds. As Tabitha, Samina & Josh met at Beer and Burger ready to stay warm. An attractive run down past Queens Park to get the blood pumping to meet Lee & Beatriz for some high energy Queens Park Council newsletter deliveries! No time to stay still London wind, the team expanded out over Portnall Road to reach the mail slots and letterboxes of the residents within council region. With a small uphill run back to the starting location, the team earned a well deserved sit down in Beer and Burger afterwards.
