GoodGym Haringey member Gus runs a community organisation called Noel Park Big Local, which works with residents to improve the local area. So when he put on a community celebration in Russell Park, of course he called on GoodGym for help.

Three GoodGymmers turned up for the mission: Sarah (who had just arrived from Ally Pally Parkrun nearby), Bryon and Senay. We were expecting to put up gazebos, set up tables and do a quick litter pick of Russell Park, where the event was being held. However, some leaflets that were supposed to be delivered to local residents weren't, and Gus was worried that no one would know the event was happening.

GoodGym to the rescue! Enter Sarah (who had just arrived from Ally Pally Parkrun nearby), Bryon and Senay. Over the next hour, they darted about the surrounding streets, spreading the word about the event and distributing 1,000 leaflets. When Sarah left them to dash off to her next appointment, they were blowing up balloons and stringing them up at all of the park entrances so that everyone would know where the party was.

Gus says the day went well, so it must have worked!
