This week’s task took us back to a very familiar place: the home of the Comboni Sisters in Chiswick. It was a bittersweet visit, as the sisters are preparing to move to Birmingham due to the rising cost of staying in their current property. After many years of helping them with gardening, lifting, sorting and everything in between, this was our final task with them — so we were determined to make it count.

Loft Carpets: The Great Descent We kicked things off in the loft, where a fair collection of carpets awaited their journey downstairs.

Jalal, Ariane and Luis were stationed up top, sending the carpets down one by one — some surprisingly heavy! The rest of the team formed a chain below to carry them safely down the multiple flights of stairs. A great bit of teamwork and a proper GoodGym-style warm-up, whether we wanted it or not!

Once the carpets were sorted, we moved outside for some garden TLC.

Jalal took charge of the lawnmower and gave the grass a much-needed cut. The rest of the team focused on weeding and tidying up the borders.

The garden is fairly large, so although we didn’t manage to finish everything, we made a big difference. With a bit of winter sun breaking through, we hope the sisters can enjoy a brighter, tidier space in their final weeks here.

It felt meaningful — and a little emotional — knowing this was our last visit. The sisters have always welcomed us so warmly, and it’s been a privilege to support them over the years. We wish them all the very best in their new chapter in Birmingham.

Great work tonight, team. A strong turnout and an even stronger show of effort and generosity. Done and indeed dusted!! Exactly what GoodGym is all about.

Already being inside St Simon's church, having helped set up the foodbank, gave me the big advantage of being at the front of the queue to collect a food parcel for Ms N, who is housebound at the moment.

Although I was aware of Ms N's allergies, I didn't know what items she would prefer - so it was great that one of the very kind volunteers sat with me while I called her to run through what was available.

Her food supplies were just about within the weight and balance limits for my bike so I was able to complete the delivery to a delighted Ms N safely and efficiently.

Great to welcome Victoria to her first GoodGym mission today!

It was a busy and productive hour of setting up tables and chairs, moving and unloading deliveries, sorting items and finally listing them on the whiteboard ready for the pickers to serve the recipients already queuing outside.

The two GoodGymers definitely made a difference and helped make sure everything was ready on time.
