8 soggy Goodgymmers had some good, old fashioned clean fun helping the Cranwood Homeless Shelter last night .

Shout out to Kate who joined us for her maiden GGH run, and for our very own Ke-on who is moving on to pastures new - you'll be missed, come and visit anytime.

Also, special mentioned for Ke-on, Nurjehan, Kate, Sarah, Natasha, and Kapil who all ran a cool 4K in the rain from Wood Green to the task. They didn't even complain about the very hilly bits. 

Another One Fights The Dust

The good folk at Cranwood Homeless Shelter recently received the good news that they could continue using the building in Muswell Hill for the foreseeable future (having expected to vacate by the end of August) so GGH celebrated the good news by coming over and helping them give the place a proper clean!

Our 8 Goodgymmers arrived energised and jumped into action without wasting any time. One sub-team swam their way through a sink flooded with dirty dishes as they cleaned the kitchen; another sub-team got on with leaving the laundry room squeaky clean; and yet another team was in charge of leaving the dining room spotless.

With some vacuum cleaning here, and some bleach wiping there; some mopping here, and some elbow greasing there, these three teams worked in unison, leaving the place lovely and fresh.

There was even some time for some cupboard sorting as well. Good times!

Look out for our community mission next week - it's meant to be a nice, sunny week so trying to arrange something outdoorsy to make the most of the sun.

12 Goodgymmers descended upon the Westbury Banks Nature Reserve - with paaaaaarty in their minds - to give this wonderful Wood Green space a hand. 

Hellos and Goodbyes

We welcomed Julia for her first GG run and she was a natural! Show her some love.

Also, this week GGH say goodbye to two of the best who, in a lovely synchronicity move, decided to desert us for pastures new the same week by moving in completely divergent directions: Liam to South London and Rita to deepest Yorkshire. You'll be missed, lovelies, and do come back and visit. #BadGym4eva 

Happy Smelly Birthday To Us!

After a rather heavy start to this year (seriously, just slow down with the escathological overtones already, 2020 ), we finally had a cause for celebrations at GGH as we reached our 5th Birthday milestone. We'll have a proper celebration later in the year when proper parties are appropriate again but we had cake last night. All is well that ends bakewell - take that 2020.

At the Reserve we even managed to clear even more of the paths, and a little bird has told me there might even be a date for forthcoming public visits to the site again, so it was rewarding to see that you can reach most of the Reserve again through the paths. Thanks to all the Goodgymmers who have fought brambles, thistles, and stinging nettles over the last few weeks to get the Reserve to this point! 

We also topped up the liquid fertiliser with fresh borage and water and were very grateful we didn't have to dig into it yesterday as the fertiliser is maturing nicely (the smell!). 

Happy Birthday GGH! <3
