Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
12 GoodGymers made a difference at the penultimate winter shelter of the season!
We were super fortunate to welcome three lovely new faces this week — a big welcome to Emma, Joe, and Jonny!
And they joined our friendly and fabulous group of Al, Charlie, Emily, Jackie, Jacqui, John, Paul, and Philippa!
Across 35 well-spent minutes, this troupe:
❤️ Assembled, positioned, and dressed 14 beds ready and waiting for the evening's guests
❤️ Set 22 spaces for a (delicious-smelling) volunteer-cooked dinner
❤️ Did everything while connecting and chatting aplenty :)
Thank you, everyone!

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 ❤️
