Happy New Year and welcome back to GoodGym Lewisham for 2024! There's going to be lots of good deeding and fun this year (not that there wasn't last year).
We started the year with one of our favourite tasks of year, collecting the abandoned Christmas trees around the borough. When I was on my long run home last night I passed 3 Christmas trees strewn across the pavement somewhere around Camberwell, I thought about how much tidier the streets of Lewisham are for our efforts!
I like to remind everyone that I'm normally the champion of this little game of who can collect the most Christmas trees but not this year!!! I have passed that title onto Oli (previous accolades include losing Miguel) and his team - well done!
We collected a total of 31 trees and a wreath.
Next week we're heading to Young Lewisham Project to hopefully continue the painting as long as it doesn't rain!
