Barnet Report written by Paul Salman
Despite the rain, GoodGym Barnet embraced the challenge with gusto during our run from the Phoenix Cinema. We conducted an extended warm-up to prepare for the weather, then tackled litter on the High Street, filling four bags. Amidst the rain, we bonded over conversations with friends, pairing up to ensure everyone had a chance to connect. Our run wasn't just about fitness; it was about strengthening community bonds, rain or shine.

Barnet Report written by Paul Salman
In the heart of East Finchley, a group of spirited individuals gathered at the historic Phoenix cinema, ready to embark on a mission of community transformation. GoodGym Barnet's latest endeavor promised an evening of camaraderie, purpose, and positive impact.
As twilight descended, the team set off towards Martin Primary School, fueled by a shared commitment to enhancing the local environment. With wheelie bins, wheelbarrows, shovels, and rakes in tow, our runners converged on the forest paths, determined to breathe new life into the landscape.
Against the backdrop of a starlit sky, laughter and banter filled the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere of camaraderie. As woodchip was spread along the trails, bonds were strengthened, and friendships forged, making every moment a testament to the power of community spirit.
As the evening drew to a close, GoodGym Barnet returned to the Phoenix cinema, their mission accomplished to do a warmdown stretch.
Thanks for coming running and doing some good!

Barnet Report written by Cloud (She/Her)
We have done our first GoodGym Sunday session at the Food Bank Aid in North Finchley since they changed Saturdays for Sundays.
Kirsten, Antonio and Cloud have joined 4 other Food Bank Aid volunteers today. Initially, it seemed that Kirsten started on the wrong food (see picture) but oh my! she did a grape job stacking jars, packets of flour counting eggs!
It's now the second thyme that Antonio joins us, and he is getting so confident with the task at hand, that he turniped up in pretty smart clothes. He moved crates and crates of flour, sugar, ketchup, potatoes and by the end of it, his trousers and shirt still looking fabulous! Quite smart this guy! Well done!
Big shout out to Kirsten who has recently had a minor foot surgery but didn't let this stop her from volunteering! We have given her suitable tasks to adapt her reduced mobility which doesn't mean easy: she was in charged of counting and packing 180 eggs ...she could have easily bean walking on egg shells with that foot!
Thank you for stopping your sunday afternoon to come out to support such a good cause! Kidneys goes a long way and unfortunately there are loads of families in north london that benefit from this great charity!
Keep up the grape work volunteers !

What a turn out this evening!
8 GGers took part in our ongoing visit to the Tiny Forest with today's focus being removing weeds and recording wildlife.
Ruslan, Rachel, Kirsten, Niki and Cloud run 3km there. We were greeted by Jyo, Wendy and Simone who met us there.
Big shout outs of the evening go to (drum roll, please!!!) : - Simone who brought water for the thirsty runners! - Ruslan who attended his first ever session and hopefully the first of plenty! Did you know you get an amazing black t-shirt when you complete 50 good deeds? you've got this Ruslan, 49 to go! - Wendy for venturing to "south" Barnet and coming fully equipped with gloves, garden kneeler and weeding tools! she has definitely done some gardening before! - Kirsten for resuming her Tuesday's with us! we've missed you! - Niki for completing 89 good deeds! She means business! how nice would it be to finish your week with 90 ? We can help you with that, there's a mission at the Food Bank Aid this friday and this Sunday! - Jyo for doing two volunteering sessions today! you're a trooper! she has volunteer at the Food Bank Aid this morning and still had energy to do some weeding! - Rachel for doubling up as back marker and Dog leader (Kirsten's dog!)! Great running and strength effort!
Are you still wondering about the underwear? Well, it's a good story that Jyo told us! There's a school involved with the Tiny project that wanted to show students how things decay over time. So yes, apparently students are super interested to know how a pair of (clean or dirty, who knows!) underwear decays and dug one in the middle of the tiny forest (look for the "underwear" sign on the pictures)
Great work everyone today!
Keep it up and see you on Friday, Sunday and/ or next Tuesday.- plenty of options to increase your deed count!
