What a session, Lambeth! 💪🏼

We linked back up with Tom from Lambeth Council to give Windrush Square and the area around Brixton Library some serious TLC — sweeping, weeding, and tidying our way to a cleaner, greener corner of Brixton. Turns out you can build glutes and community spirit at the same time. Who knew?

On the tools tonight:

Ben Michael Katie Tilly
Jo Dan

Big love to this crew for trading their evening jog for a broom and a bin bag — proof that GoodGym really is where "leg day" meets "litter day" 🍾🥰

Windrush Square is looking sharper than our running form, and Brixton Library's front bed is finally weed-free (unlike our group chat, which remains a mess (jokes!)). 😱🤩

Same time next week, legends? See you on the streets — bring trainers, bring gloves, leave your excuses at home. 🏃♀️🧡

Tuesday night saw a cracking turnout as the GoodGym Lambeth crew rolled up (quite literally, in the case of several carpets) at Annick’s beloved waterworks allotments for an evening of heavy lifting, heavier furniture-breaking, and general green-fingered good deeds 🌱💪🏼

The task at hand: rug rolling, shelf smashing, and some good old-fashioned digging about — basically an extreme home makeover, allotment edition. Annick’s plot has never looked (or felt) so un-furnished 🛋️➡️🗑️

On the team sheet tonight:

• Ben Margerison — hauling carpets like they owed him money
• Michael Welsh — bringing the muscle and the smiles
• Katie Allan — no stranger to a task, this Lambeth legend just keeps racking them up 🏅
• Tilly Baker Hine — gardening gloves on, ready for anything
• Jo Bowen — allotment royalty for the evening
• Dan — 50 tasks deep and still showing up to demolish some furniture 🔨
• Fi — sleeves rolled up, spirits high
• Rich — new face, instant legend
• Libby Cannon — welcome to the chaos, Libby! 🎉

Between us we shifted more old stuff than a Sunday car boot sale, and left Annick’s allotment looking positively spring-cleaned 🧹✨

And because it was the last Tuesday of the month, work quickly turned to well-earned play — the gang swapped trowels for pints and toasted a job well done at the social afterwards 🍾😊 Nothing quite like bonding over a shared dislike of a particularly stubborn Billy bookcase.

Great work all round, Lambeth — you moved mountains (of carpet) tonight! 🥰

Tonight’s session was a small-but-mighty affair — AA Yianny was off duty, so superhero stand-in run leader Fi grabbed the reins (and the hosepipe) to guide a tight crew of legends: Ben, Tilly, Libby and Fi herself. 💪🏼🍾

With the hosepipe ban looming ever closer, the gang raced the clock to give the allotment one last proper soak, watering the majority of the plot before the taps run dry for the foreseeable. Weeds were also given their marching orders, because nothing says “community good deed” quite like a bit of aggressive shrubbery negotiation. 🧰

Valcie snapped some action shots of the crew mid-spray — heroic hose-wielding poses that honestly deserve a calendar. 📸

Massive thanks to Fi for stepping up to lead in Yianny’s absence — turns out leadership and landscaping go hand in hand! And to Ben, Tilly and Libby for showing up small but showing out big. See you all next time, watering can (or hosepipe, while we still can) at the ready! 🌻❤️

What a cracking evening, GoodGym-ers! 💪🏼🍾

Tonight's tight-knit squad of legends — Michael, Ben, Jo, Nicole, and yours truly, AA Yianny — rolled up ready for action, joined by our fabulous friend Naomi from Holy Trinity (HT). 🥰

Mission of the night: get HT looking sparkly ✨ ahead of some big celebrations coming up. Enter: the weeds along the outer wall, who did NOT see us coming. Armed with some brand new (and, let's be honest, slightly mysterious 🧰) tools, our crack team made light work of the lot — turns out "getting to the root of the problem" isn't just a saying, it's a Tuesday for us. 🌱👋

With the church looking noticeably less jungle and noticeably more "ready for its close-up," we decided we'd earned ourselves a reward — and with it being World Cup semi-final night, the choice basically made itself. Down the road we went for a well-deserved drink and to cheer on the football together. Weeding by day, wonder-goals by night — truly a session of two halves! ⚽🍻

😱🤩 What a night. HT: 1, Weeds: 0. Thanks for another brilliant session, team — same time next week? 🙌

What an absolute cracker of an evening, Lambeth! 💪🏼

Tonight’s task force assembled in style: Katie, Ben, Jo, Fi, Nicole and yours truly, AA Yianny, hit the streets — and because it was our monthly social, we got extra reinforcements in Adam, Michael and Tilly. Bigger squad, bigger impact! 🍾

We went full GG classic tonight with a Litter Pick Bingo — and Lambeth did NOT disappoint. We picked, we sorted, we scratched our heads at some genuinely bizarre finds (we won’t ask, we don’t want to know 😱), and left the streets looking significantly more sparkly than we found them. Full house on the bingo card, several question marks on the mystery items. A+ prep for game night, if we do say so ourselves. ❤️

But the real headline tonight: Katie hit 200 tasks for GoodGym. 200! 🥰 Task Force superhero, social media guru, and general ray of sunshine — Katie, we are so unbelievably proud of you. That’s not a milestone, that’s a monument. Take a bow. 👏

Then it was straight into the social — baked goods, pizza, laughs, the occasional happy tear, and a room full of the loveliest weirdos Lambeth has to offer (said with maximum affection). 🤩

Great pick, great people, great cake. See you next week, legends! 🏃💚
