Nine of us met to lend a hand at the Gunnersbury Park estate on a barmy August evening.

After a rocky start initially (I’m not lost you’re lost) we eventually located the task and woodchipped our way to a smooth finish, 2 tasks complete.

Salwa joined Chris, Emily and Ishan shovelling a pile of wood chip into a compost while Remy, Jenni, Maddie, Ellis and Michelle finished levelling off a mound that we’d previously helped to dig out a few weeks ago. Thanks to your solid efforts tonight the area will be planted in time for autumn. You rock!

Not before Chris’s 101st good deed could be marked in true GoodGym style - cue ritual humiliation of wing- wearing + public photo shoot (not just any wings, by the way, GG Richmond’s golden wings).

Welcome back to Ellis who joined us again this time for his first community mission and to Maddie who joined for a first mission in Hounslow. Kudos for sticking with us all the way to the pub!
