Meanwhile at GoodGym Westminster we headed south to Vauxhall bridge road to Small Works. Small works is a community organisation that offers work and event space at a very low cost for other community organisations and social enterprises. Our task? To give a few of their walls a fresh lick of paint.

Now due to heat and the ever alluring pull of the local public convenience and near by parks we were a little low on the ground BUT boy oh boy did our little pack of 6 put in some work.

A quick brief on our task and health and safety and we were off.

A 4K tempo through the capitals finest parks and busiest streets led us strait to our task.

We were greeted by the lovely Juliet who told us all about small works and how much of difference our help was making.

We grabbed our paint and our brushes and we were off. 30 mins to paint the main room, the back room and a tiny lil wall round back.

Did we do it? Of course we did, was Juliet happy? More like over joyed lol.

With paint all over our faces we said our goodbyes and we were off.

Till next time, hopefully it we didn't see you last night we'll see you next week.
