Another cracking Tuesday for the GoodGym Lambeth crew! We rocked up at Papa's, laced up, and jogged over to Ruskin Park to link up with Tom from Lambeth Parks — a man whose garden kit game is honestly unmatched. Best gear in Lambeth, no notes. 🏆

Today's mission: bramble bashing. And bash we did. 💪🏼

Armed with rakes, secateurs and loppers (basically a horticultural Avengers lineup), we descended on the bramble bushes with genuine menace. The technique was simple but effective: rake 'em out, chop 'em down, pile 'em up for composting. The brambles didn't stand a chance. 🌱🔥

A huge shoutout to Lea, who joined us for her first ever GoodGym session — welcome to the fam, we hope the brambles didn't scare you off! 🎉🍾 Also out there getting stuck in: Michael (fresh from his Big Half heroics) Katie, and Adam, all bringing the usual mix of chat, chaos and quality composting content.

Ruskin Park is looking noticeably less prickly thanks to this lot. Great work all round — fitness sorted, good deed done, brambles thoroughly put in their place. 🏃🍾❤️

See you next time, Lambeth! 🧰✨

All cleared for the day

This weekend the Community Healing Garden in Vauxhall held a big free summer party for local residents to enjoy the garden. We’ve been holding monthly community mission sessions in the garden and it’s been so lovely to see how much progress the volunteer team have made to this beautiful green space.

The party was a great success, with loads of homemade food, craft activities, a bug hunt, face painting, and live music performances on the main stage (we couldn’t choose between ‘V-Fest’, ‘Vaux-Stock’ or ‘Gardenbury’!)

But we weren’t just there to enjoy the cakes! We helped out by setting up the chairs, table and stage, putting signs up, and running the badge-making stand. After a few false starts we became expert badge makers and took a few home ourselves!
