Such a lovely day to be be around the Ealing Xmas Dinner for care leavers. The crackers and roast spuds truly flowed! Special thanks to Alanna, chatting and helping everyone to feel at home. A huge well done to all the volunteers, brilliant!

The amazing people of Ealing Xmas Dinner and our gang of GoodGym elves worked all afternoon with tinsel, decorations, a tree and holly to turn a regular hall into a venue fit for a festive party - well done, you lot! I know the young people will love the hall when they see it tomorrow, as well as what Santa has brought them (shhhh!). And well done to Olivia who didn't let the train strike hold her back and helped out at the South London Xmas Dinner instead!

It's always a pleasure to help the Ealing half marathon, London best half! Our job was to stick flyers under car windscreen wipers to let them know about road closures. We were up bright (kinda!) and early on Sunday morning to get out and get the job done!

Another first Sunday of the month, and Amanda and her crack team at the Chiswick Flower Market could rely on 5 of the finest GoodGymmers to help with the closing down.

We all seemed to be dab hand at this now, and Amanda rounded up Chris, Harvey, Analiese and Jane to take down the banners and signage. It was even more exciting today, as Amanda informed us that the Flower Market Team now had their own storage area, and Jane took on the job of bringing the bits round to the new shed.

Lucy single handedly moved the yellow parking cones from along the market area, and stacked them up neatly in their usual spot, and was soon joined by the rest of the gang who had finished banner duties. Harvey made himself useful by helping a few of the sellers pack down by moving boxes and crates (although in his own words ‘I’m not sure if I’m more of a help or a hindrance right now’). There were alsoonly a few of the dastardly red fences to move today thankfully, and a trip across the road to Bond Street for Analiese, Chris and Lucy to bring over the parking signs from there.

And what sort of GoodGym task would it be without a litter pick? We all took a picker and filled up a few bags with the little bits of rubbish that had amassed over a few hours, and played a new game called ‘litter or leaf?’ (Where you have to decide if the thing you’re picking up is a plant or plastic).

It was nearly time, and we followed Amanda round with her pull along trolley full of pickers and jute bags to the storage unit to pack away the final bits before we were off again.

On Sunday 6 lovely goodgymers gave up their day of rest to return to a much loved task among GoodGym helping out at the weekly Chiswick flower market.

On arrival Amanda set us to work, we had the lovely tasks of removing the banners and signs surrounding the market, It was a bit of a “ballsy” job but someone had to do it. Gisela and Jane sure were "balling" and had it done in no time!

Harvey, Jen and Alanna headed over to the Costa car park to retrieve some barriers it was a 3 (wo)man job and they even picked up a trusty traffic cone along the way too, Don't say we're not good to you Amanda.

It was the next job when we all “rose” to the occasion moving and piling ALL the barriers and put the best “ feet feet - feet feet " forward.

It wasn't long before it was mission complete and time for the heavens to open just as we surprised Jen with a cake to celebrate her 100th Good Deed, glad somebody remembered as she hadn't. It wouldn't be GoodGym Hounslow if there wasn't an excuse for a cake.

Big shout of to Giesla for her very first Good deed the first of many we hope! Everyone give her a cheer. Gisela
