Pitching in for Pennington

5 runners dedicated their Saturday to helping the residents of Pennington Close in Lambeth. They smashed it. Don't take our word for it, just have a read of what one of the residents said....

I just wanted to say and absolutely ENORMOUS thank you for all your help on Saturday. I was completely amazed at how many of you came along, and how much energy you all had an the sheer amount of work that you managed to do!! Our street looks so much nicer now, and once we’ve got plants in all the planters it will look marvellous. We are also going to plant bluebells and poppies etc in the wooded area – I will send you pics when it’s all done!

Everyone else who came was just amazed at the Good Gym – at what a great idea it is, and also how kind you all are to give up your time to help complete strangers with really tough work! So many of my neighbours have commented about how lovely it all looks, and a few have been quite incredulous at the amount of effort so many people have gone to as volunteers. Yesterday, for the first time since I moved in a year ago, a family of children were playing in the wooded patch with their dog. So lovely!

Thank you all so much once again, you’re all totally incredible!!
