We were back at Sunnyside Community Gardens to finish off last week's compost turning. Taking inspiration from the recent Winter Olympics, we applied avalanche rescue snow-removal techniques to moving compost: using a "V" formation with three rows of diggers passing dirt back to the next, forming a nice efficient chain effect.

Great team effort - we were able to complete the compost bay that had totally defeated us last week.

Now it's over to the worms to do work their magic...

10 GoodGymers making a difference in Central London!

It was the umpteenth rain-soaked evening of the year, and almost every Londoner was frowning and huddling in their attempts to stay away from the weather.

And yet this group of ten special people had decided to step into the evening!

David (on their first GoodGym session — welcome!), Kash, and Alex started the evening with a conversation-filled jog through Bloomsbury and over to Tottenham Court Road...

...where they were met by the happy group of Caitlin, Louise, Lydia, Paul, Rohan, and Steve :)

Our task was a common one for us during the winter months 👉 we were off to help set up the night shelter at the American International Church, which provides food, community, and warmth as part of the C4WS homeless support programme.

Our wonderful host (and fellow GoodGymer), Brooke, guided our efforts assembling beds, fighting with duvet covers, and setting up a dining room :)

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