- Mike & Milly teamed up for a drop in Southall this week
- Fay & Marieke paired up on their bikes for a drop in Acton
- Navjeet is our ever present superstar driver and always takes on any delivieres she can, this week was no different!
- Annette & Harvey were our second bike team this week
- Always happy to help, this week Caz used her lunch break to help deliver for us
- And last but not least Muhammad picked up our final delivery for this week, we'd be lost without him!

Annette completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Annette was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Gunning for it!
ONEderful start to our 'Day of Good' in Ealing!
On Saturday 18th January GoodGym Ealing hosted a whole day of good deeds in the borough including filling all the volunteer roles at Gunnersbury parkrun, litter picking our way around Gunnersbury Park afterwards, sorting surplus food and organising crates at City Harvest and finishing up for another litter pick in Acton Park.
Part 1:
For good deed number one we filled all the volunteer slots at Gunnersbury parkrun and had GoodGymers from all over London come and support this amazing free weekly event that we love so much. We had people setting up, giving the first timers briefing, marshaling, managing the finish funnel, handing out finish tokens, scanning barcodes, tail walking, pacing as well as helping pack it all away and sort the results.
The full shebang!
If you'd like to help at Gunnersbury parkrun any other week, they always need lovely volunteers to keep the event going every week.

- You can see the future volunteer roster for Gunnersbury here - GUNNERSBURY FUTURE ROSTER
