Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Lieke
Wow, what a great afternoon!! Whilst 5 people signed up for the task initially, I was welcomed by 9 enthusiastic Goodgymmers at the Cranbrook Community center in Bethnal Green. For some runners, it was even their 2nd mission that day!
The task owner explained all the various tasks she wanted to get done, and the group got right into it. One team started to clear the beds, so they would be ready to be sprinkled by a great natural fertilizer: chicken manure (kudos to Chris as it was his first GG experience).
Another team cleaned the back of the center, clearing all the autumn leaves and getting the place organised so it is easy to access when the spring comes around!
Last, but certainly not least, Isabelle cleaned the garden and potted some lovely flowers (see pics!)
As a little surprise, the community center offered to the group to take some veggies home. Someone enjoying a nice rhubarb cocktail this evening?
Thank you everyone! I got a lovely message from the task owner and she would love to see us back in the next few weeks to get more winter veggies planted!
Tucked behind Roman Road, this vibrant Community Centre is a lively hub of connection, creativity, and care. Run by two longstanding local residents, the centre is a welcoming environment for all, offering a wide range of free-to-access events and activities that help to bring people together from all walks of life. From music and parties to fitness classes and prayer groups, there's something for everyone. With a strong focus on inclusion and affordability, the centre also provides low-cost hall hire to support local groups and initiatives. More than just a building, Cranbrook is a place for the community to grow.
