Lending a hand at Gunnersbury Park
We're back at our favourite local green space to help with either cutting back brambles or shifting soil. Bring your gloves if you have them, and get ready for a fun and physical session in Gunnersbury Park!
Please avoid bringing bags you can't run with as we have nowhere to store them.

Helping out at Chiswick House Gardens
Chiswick House is a charity which means local people can come and enjoy the beautiful space for free. They have asked for a hand in the gardens - do bring along your headtorch if you have one!
We'll also do a little fitness session before heading back - please avoid bringing bags or other belongings.

Hammer time
We were back at Cultivate London last night - a wonderful charity which repurposes unused land in London to grow nurseries and train young people. Our job was to break down pallet boxes and remove nails so that they can be used to build raised beds and beautiful bug hotels.
We were soon hard at work, talking about the hills (or lack of them) in the area, epic cycle rides and singing Hammer related songs. we were only slightly perturbed by the alarming sounds of foxes - or were they frogs or squirrels? - screaming away in the background.
After 40 minutes of hard work we had a pile of de-nailed planks ready to be repurposed and all that was left to do was a group photo before heading back off into the chilly night. Next week we're back to Turnham Green, so bring along your headtorches if you have them. Until then, happy running!

Toe-may-toe or Toe-mah-toe?
Once again we were back to support Chiswick School with some weeding of the school allotment. A good size group of GoodGym'ers upped tools and set to work!
We cleared a number of beds for the school gardening club; ready to be lain with cardboard and straw/manure/compost. An experimental approach to keep down the weeds.
For our troubles we even got the odd tomato ... admittedly 2 small cherry tomatoes does not go far between 13 of us.
We look forward to being back and helping out again!

Clearing Chiswick Allotments
We have been asked to lend a hand at Chiswick Allotments clearing a wild area so that the school can use it to teach the children about growing fruit and veg. Ella will meet you with instructions and tools, but do bring gloves if you have them.

Supporting Chiswick Flower Market
Chiswick Flower market is a not-for-profit community event who have asked for our help closing down the market after it finishes. They need a hand removing signage, taking down bunting and litter picking at the site.
Bring your own gloves and sanitiser if you can, and enjoy a lovely afternoon mission outside supporting the community!
Amanda will be your point of contact, and you'll be able to find her market HQ. If you have problems finding the group, Amanda can be reached on 07943029754
