Saturday was community day at St Mary's church in Lewisham, a perennial Good Gym favourite. 3 hardy runners turned up, despite predictions of filthy weather, ready to help Sue and the team out with getting the churchyard ready for winter and the hope of spring.

The tasks were simple, get of the wild alliums and alkanet and plant bulbs, both more appropriate alliums and tulips. Despite stepping on many of the bulbs we were to plant, we'd soon cleared a vast space and got the bulbs in.

And St Mary's are one of our most generous hosts and afterward we were rewarded with some of Joy's lovely spicy squash and coconut soup, which warmed us all up again after an hour and a half in the cold.

A Greenwich Maritime start for tonight's group run meant another chance to see the fab light show on a chilly November evening. 10 GoodGym-ers then made their way to St Richard's Church in Charlton.

We had a great selection of tasks, including outdoor weeding, plus cleaning upstairs with some vacuuming, mopping and dusting. Others in the group grabbed some tools and got on with some maintenance jobs fixing door handles and push plates. Contrary to popular belief we CAN handle the screws...

Tasks complete, everything turned out Hunky - Doory as we ended our mission with tea and cake to celebrate Jenny's whopping 500th good deed!

Welcome back to Aman for his second task with us- great to have you in the team!

Great work all & catch up soon 😃

Next week we're putting up Christmas decorations at Dee's Childcare!

Our coldest group run of the year so far and 10 brave goodgymers gathered at Glass Mill ready to do good. It was a last minute change of task due to bulbs not arriving in time at Florence Green.

We made our way up to The Albany and set about choosing between weeding and litter picking! There was a significant amount of both weeding done and litter picked with the area looking much tidier than when we arrived. Or so we hope, it was quite dark!!

The group got smaller and smaller by the time we got to Glass Mill. Time for a quick stretch and then home to warm up!

This morning, six wonderful GoodGymers joined the regular Hornfair Junior parkrun volunteer team to help make another event run smoothly. From cheering to guiding to keeping everything on track, everyone brought great energy and big smiles.

Another great Sunday morning spent supporting the juniors, the community, and each other. 🫶🏼
