Let's (Thames) Reach Higher!!

The sun was smiling on this new partnership between GoodGym and our friends at Two Circles as we met in South London to head out and help out Thames Reach (TR), a London-based charity working with those suffering from homelessness.

Thames Reach’s mission is to help people who are homeless or vulnerable to find decent homes, build supportive relationships and lead fulfilling lives. The Bermondsey Project provides temporary, supported accommodation. Staff work alongside mental health professionals to support vulnerable individuals.

The main part of the group met at Paterson Park and then the quicker runners and cyclists headed over with AA Mark (GoodGym Bromley) to Aberdour Court centre while the remaining group came with AA Yianny to Roseberry Street and Galleywall Street centres.

Our job was simple but satisfying, help weed, clear, litter pick, mow and lop until the outdoor spaces were like new! The two groups with Yianny got through an amazing amount of work (and a fair bit of banter) and both Elvis and Tommy from TR were absolutely delighted. (check out the pics to see just how much)

A big thank you to all the volunteers and hope you all enjoy the evening as you retreat to the pub for a well deserved drink and rest.
