A-spire-ing to do good!

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

We're lucky enough to have some beautiful spots to work in during our GoodGym tasks - think Paradise cooperative garden, Doddington roof garden, the panoramic terrace at St Joseph's school and so many more. Last night most certainly fit into that category as we ran down to the oldest church in Battersea - St Mary's. This historic place by the river was where Turner painted some of his iconic images of the Thames, and the area outside is a popular spot used by local people to enjoy. The space is cared for by volunteers, who asked us to come and help make it as welcoming and safe as possible.

We arrived to find not only tools, but all sorts of snacks and drinks waiting for us - we could get used to this! But first - the jobs. We divided up into teams to tackle various tasks. These included weeding, raking, litter picking and sweeping. Grabbing what we needed we scattered across the churchyard.

Paul, Pritesh, Caroline and Catherine were in charge of making sure the area in front of the church was neat and tidy - with the help of the world's largest broom. Meanwhile Katie and Annabel were tackling the weeds alongside the building and searching for a sign of the grass seeds that had been planted 50 years ago - any day now. Jo, Jordan and Steph covered plenty of ground collecting all the dried leaves and grass, and Johnnie, Jordan, Sophie and Ali were waging war on the cig butts and other litter messing up the place and polluting our waterways. Great work everybody!

There was just time to enjoy some Haribo and a photo opp before we went round the corner to do our fitness session on some of the greenest, bounciest grass in Wandsworth. There were burpees, there was balancing, there were some yoga moves and there were some very smoooth transitions. Impressive moves, team!

The big news is that next week we have our birthday themed task and social - please come along to celebrate, to do some good and to mark an amazing nine years of GG Wandsworth. I'd love to see you there

Check out our community missions page if you'd like to help with the Battersea Summer Scheme every day this week. There are plenty of ways to help support this event for disadvantaged kids in the area.

No bones left uncovered

Wandsworth Report written by Sophie Humphrey

It was another glorious night in Wandsworth and we had a lovely group willing to brave the heat and skip the park to instead do some good! We did take a moment to discuss our favourite summer treats however with ice cream and quiche taking a joint lead! Maybe not to be consumed together...

We were back to Balham Nursery where the Head Teacher gave us a short history lesson around the school's existence since 1935. Impressive! Unfortunately they have managed to build up a lot of stuff in that time and it was our job to move it all out so that it can then be sorted by the staff. Everyone got stuck in very quickly to the packed shelves and we were amazed by how much we could move in the time (see how full that room is!). Our favourite discovery was by Matthew who was spooked by a skeleton discovered on top of the closet!

We were well looked after and also heard about how much the children enjoyed using their new playground space following our last job and how well the space was used for a summer fair.

There was just about time for some quick exercises (including voluntary tricep dips and squat holds!) before we ran off into the night. Well done GG Wandsworth!
