It was our regular first Friday of the month helping out at the Ealing Mile, just one of the many activities organised by We Run Ealing to help the good people of the borough get active. Steph was super punctual (he's that kinda guy) and helped with the set-up. Harvey was exactly on time (he's that kinda guy) and went round the course practicing the art of drawing arrows with chalk (needs some work!). Tom whisked in on two wheels (he's that kinda guy) ready to be the lead bike for the runners. And a warm welcome was given to the smiling Yonas (he's that kinda guy) on the occasion of his first session.

Our crew marshalled and cheered and clapped as 45 runners got stuck into the 1 mile loop of Lammas Park. One of our regulars was getting back to running so walked the course. In true Tour de France style, Steph and Harvey followed behind to sweep up! Broom broom!

See you next month milers!

Brenda and Harvey rocked up to Borough Market all ready to help with collecting spare food from the market and local cafes...only to miss the Oasis collection team. But GoodGym folk aren't so easily put off. Brenda came up with a practical plan - they could walk to the Oasis food hub in Kennington and help unload - genius!

So, that's what they did. Chatting on, catching-up and putting the world to rights as they walked.

On arrival at the hub, there was a bit more confusion checking that this thing was happening. But that didn't last long as the Food Connect cargo bike rolled in - whoop!

Our intrepid two got stuck in, helping a couple of regular volunteers to unload the food cargo - job done! And, best of all, nothing goes to waste.
