An anchor in the storm
Jenny's GoodGym experience in 2020

Spiky like Sunday morning
We arrived by bike and were greeted by Mr K, who was very pleased to see us. The task looked formidable, as the garden was very overgrown, but luckily the neighbours lent us some useful tools to lop at all the brambles. We decided to make a start by clearing the area near the back door and then the path on the left. As you can see from the photos, quite a bit of progress was made in around 90 minutes. We escaped relatively unscathed, although double gloves were needed to protect against the spiky bits. A productive morning and hopefully Goodgym can make a few more visits to finish the job. 👍

I Stag You Not, Dharmesh Is Tying The Knot!
It's not every day that a GG Stag do comes around...
This is for all those who know Dharmesh and have seen him blossom over the years. This may also be one of the last occasions that we see him fly the flag for Redbridge, so do join us for some activities, food, drink, light hearted (but deep felt) entertainment.
More info to follow.

Food bank and food dump
We had a new member turn up and help out and a returnee along with a someone who hasn't gone to these community missions for a long time. To all, glad you could make it. The good news is we had less than 40 food packages to do, and a lot of people which meant we did most of this within 2 hours. The rest of the time, we spent restocking and unfortunately finding products that have gone out of date, which annoyingly was a lot (100 bags of self raising flour, 125 tins of tomato soup, and some vegetable soup). We found a lot of custard creams went over their best before, which next session people are going to get a lot of biscuits (a future merry Christmas to them).

Switching things up for Mrs B
On a crisp November night I was very happy to have a mission to get me out of the house for a jog. I enjoyed running through the autumn leaves to meet Ray at Mrs B's House.
Mrs B wanted some help to move furniture as she finds it easier to get up out of her chair than the sofa. We moved a dresser to another room, moved the sofa to where the dresser had been, and then moved the chair so it was in line with the TV. In around 10 minutes Mrs B was much happier with her set-up, as she can now use the chair for relaxing instead of the sofa.
We tried to take a blurry photo by a beautiful tree as mission proof, then we enjoyed a run up the hill and a chat before we parted ways. A very efficient and rewarding hour away from the home desk 🙌
