GoodGym on our shirts, never stopped us weeding!

9 awesome runners ran 3km to help out at Christchurch School

It was a lovely sunny evening in Greenwich last night but because of the World Cup (which we won't talk about), our numbers were slightly on the thin side... but it didn't matter! We still got loads done! We were joined by new runner Pieter, hope you had a good first run with us!

We headed off a little earlier than usual and made our way towards Christchurch school, we didn't even need to be watching the match as we could hear the screaming England fans from the houses and pubs along the way and before we'd even got to the task we were 1-0 up... WOOO! Oh yeah sorry I said I wouldn't talk about it...!

Upon arrival we were greeted by Fiona and Patrick who are both part of the EGRA (East Greenwich Residents Association) who are involved with a lot of community projects in the borough. They had lots of jobs for us to do. The main one was moving the bags of gravel which we actually filled up a few months back! The place has absolutely transformed since the first time we visited which is awesome! A new beehive had been installed as well as an outdoor playground/learning space, so lovely!

After about 10 minutes, all the bags were shifted and we moved onto the big sacks of bark which required a little more muscle power! But again, after a few minutes, these were cleared and out of the way! NICE!!

Once the heavy work was done it was time to give the place a good watering and clear a whole bunch of weeds. There was also a spot of litter picking to do! Once the weeds were cleared, it was time to head back, but not before a photo of course!

A little jog back to the uni and we finished off with a quick little core blast and we were done!

Thanks for all your hard work yesterday! You got so much done so you should be really chuffed! See you next week!
