26 GoodGymers ran 6.3km and helped Scope Charity Shop in Camden on our 5th birthday!

Welcome along to newbies Harriet and Rob. Lovely to have you along!

It was GG Camden's 5th birthday last night, pretty amazing how much good and running we've done over the last 5 years. Here is to the next 5!

In the news this week:

  1. We are having a big old party for GG Camden's Birthday next Thursday at the Skip Garden - please sign up by Sunday if you'd like to come :)
  2. It's GG Monthly Drinks this Thursday - we've got a pub booked in this pub - link.
  3. The GG Olympics has been announced for Saturday 30th June at Parliament Hill Track - represent Camden and keep the trophy ours!

After an active warm up we headed 1km north via Royal College Street to help Scope Camden Charity Shop - a NEW TASK! This amazing charity describes itself as a charity that exists to make this country a place where disabled people have the same opportunities as everyone else. Until then, we’ll be here.

This was probably one of the most organised tasks we've ever had with complete instructions and numbers for everyone.

25 people + 30 minutes of good = 12.5 hours of work!

We covered the three floors of the shop covering the following jobs (and there was a lot to do):

  • Chris hoovered all three floors!
  • A team led by Rosie sorted donations into piles and bags
  • Thomas cleaned wooden displays
  • Beth sorted shoes and bags
  • Freya and Linda cleaned the kitchen surfaces and cups
  • Harriet mopped and cleaned the bathroom
  • Sophie and Frances wiped and cleaned windows on various floors
  • Chris smoothly sorted three racks of ladies' clothes
  • Morag measured and sorted men's jeans/trousers
  • Sarah and Sarah cleaned and wiped down the stairways
  • Liz, Hayley and a full team sorted, labelled and gunned newly donated clothes

Everyone did amazingly and smashed through the tasks at hand. So much work done in such a short period of time!

We headed to Regents Park for a 1km time trial and a longer route home.

See you next week for gardening fun and our birthday celebrations!
