12 GoodGymers take multiple lifts and elevators on a Wednesday night!

The Greenwood Centre in Kentish Town looks like it should make sense.

It's not especially large and it doesn't appear to be meandering.

Someone might look up and remark: That's a nice glass cube! Bet you can't get lost in there!

How wrong they would be!

There are gardens on the roof and out the back and off a random room on level one — you can't turn a corner without finding a garden!

And while I was busy getting bemused and confused, this special group were busy making a wonderful difference ❤️

Last night we welcomed Abigail on their first good deed (welcome!) and Caterina on their first trip to Camden GG (welcome!), as well as fabulous regular faces 👉 Ariane, Danny, Gary, Jackie, John, Kareem, Karen, Steve, and Thierry (great to see you all!)

Together they:

💚 Pulled weeds from seemingly every gutter bordering every garden on every floor!

💚 Shifted heavy bags of soil and sand and gravel and mulch 👉 upstairs to downstairs and downstairs to upstairs!

💚 And multiple other small tasks that make a big difference!

Thank you, everyone!

8 GoodGymers dug a pond, planted wildflowers, and made a REAL DIFFERENCE in Highgate!

Tucked and nestled away — behind houses and flats — is a special green space that's being re-purposed by the community in North London!

The Makepeace Community Garden on the Holly Lodge Estate is fast becoming a nature-bound oasis, and our wonderful group of GoodGymers are making a steady and regular difference :)

This lovely lot — Cecilia, Charlie, DaMarcus, Emily, Harvey (celebrating good deed 1001! CONGRATULATIONS!), Leora, and Luna (on their first good deed — welcome!) — caught a good-deeding wind yesterday morning!

Together they:

❤️ Dug, lined, and filled a delightful new pond!

❤️ Cut away an old weed membrane and planted oodles of wildflower seeds!

❤️ Positioned and installed hedgehog highways!

❤️ Mowed the lawn!

❤️ Planted fresh flowers and plants!

Thank you, everyone! Here's to next time!

P.S. Thank you to Cecilia and Emily for the many wonderful photos ❤️

9 GoodGymers caught early spring vibes in Central London!

On Wednesday evening — at approximately half past six — a special group of altruistic folk could be seen congregating on Tottenham Court Road.

Some wore red t-shirts. Others were jumping off bikes. And everyone was ready for a little good-deeding!

This lovely lot — Al (on their first good deed – welcome!), Alex, Imogen, Philippa, Sarah, Steve, Theo, and Thierry — turned up to get everything ready for the American International Church's winter shelter ☺️

Together we:

💪 Lugged umpteen camping beds into pristine position!

🪶 Discovered the quickest way to pull a duvet cover onto a duvet!

🍽️ Turned an empty room into a dining room!

✨ Left the space ready and welcoming for the evening's guests!

Thank you, everyone!

4 GoodGymers joined 3 Community Champions to make a Sunday afternoon difference in Gospel Oak!

Lismore Circus Community Woods is a special patch of nature and seasonal colour, and we arrived to oodles of early spring opulence yesterday afternoon!

This brilliant GoodGym group of DaMarcus, Ralf (on their first good deed – welcome!), and Steph joined local gardeners Chris, Robert, and Suza to form a crack team :)

Together we positioned and filled a new compost bin — swept and tidied aplenty — sawed and chopped and pruned umpteen overgrown branches — and carefully packed everything into compost bags for reusing!

Thank you, everyone!
