Emma and I eventually found each other as I was running late and this was a new GoodGym mission with Thames Reach, a homeless and mental health charity by South Bermondsey station.

Our contact there had told us all about the various different homelessness projects they were involved in. 90 Galleywall is their office as well as a resident space for those on a "two year getting back into society" program.

The residence had a lovely garden, which was slightly overgrown and needed GoodGym's attention. Emma and I were up for the task of cutting back the hedge and clearing the path of weeds and leaves. We barely scratched the surface as the hour and a bit flew by! During this time, Emma and I chatted about GoodGym, our lives and what we were up to later today!

We will be back for more!
