Worm Murder* on the Dancefloor

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

(* No worms actually murdered. It was a close call!)

Area Activator Simon met up with a top crew of Goodgym runners (some hailing from Islington, some hailing from Chamonix, France!) at the Arsenal Community Hub. Together, we engaged with a range of dynamic warm up exercises before running towards The Museum of Homelessness in Finsbury Park. On route, we ran along the nature path next to Gillespie Park, dropping us off at the top of Blackstock Road. We followed a reverse loop of Finsbury parkrun before arriving at our task location (next to Manor House station).

We were greeted by Jess and Matt at the MOH, who had set us up a smashing collection of tasks for the evening. The garden space surrounding the Museum of Homelessness have been maintained by vulnerable and unhoused individuals, and we have agreed to lend a hand with some heavy lifting.

Team 1 picked up spades and shovels, and assisted with digging out a new pathway around the museum. The plan is to build a disabled access pathway from the main drive in Finsbury Park. A huge job to take on, but are happy to help out! Team 2 helped with moving large piles of gravel and cement over to a new pathway by the entrance of The museum. And then Team 3 took a (slightly squeaky) wheelbarrow to collect mulch and compost from a dedicated bin within Finsbury Park, and dropped piles of fertiliser off in the gardens for more planting projects.

We pitched in a solid 40 minutes of graft between us, and our efforts were super appreciated by the small team at MOH. Great job everyone!

Next Monday, we will be visiting Caledonian Park for some bark chip lifting and shifting! Sign up here:
