Victory snatched from the (frozen) jaws of defeat ❄️

Multiple Missions and multiple milestones

Our morning of good deeds could have started on a wobble today, with snow overnight and then Gladstone Parkrun trying to unsettle us further by cancelling ☃️.
However, thanks to some quick thinking by our stellar task owner, a potential disappointment was transformed into a DOUBLE Community Mission, and consequently TWO major GoodGym milestones for some of our volunteers!

With the Gladstone Parkrun cancellation, those of us who were there early for that hid from the weather in ‘Spoons and Costa until it was time for our Community Mission at Millennium Green to kick-off… Once we’d all convened there variously from Finchley, Camden, Brixton and Essex; we met some of the local community volunteers and got to work with our grabbers!

There was the usual stuff urban parks have to offer in the form of countless containers for delicious booze; plus between us we also found a pair of shoes, a tea saucer, a bundle of flyers and some men’s boxers.

Knowing the snow would mean our scope of tasks would be mostly limited to grabbing-up Lambrini bottles, our task owner Anne had arranged that we could go along to another GG Community Mission location at nearby Clitterhouse Farm and give them some help when we’d finished at Millennium Green.

As we left to pop along to the farm up the street, a guy turned-up braving the weather to take his dog and small children for a walk, so it was great GG and the people from the local community had just been by to make it a bit more safe and pleasant for small hands and paws. 👍

Nifty fifty

This was Abi’s 50th GoodGym deed, so now’s your chance to go and give her a cheer!

More of that to come in the next report, see you over there…
