Today’s mission turned into the perfect girls’ day out.

Rachel, Emily, Manasa and Levita spent the morning at the British Heart Foundation in Kingston, unpacking and assembling furniture, including two mirror cabinets, a coffee table, and an executive chair. It was such a fun, hands-on experience, and we supported each other throughout whenever questions came up. Teamwork really made the whole process even more enjoyable. We wrapped up the session with a well-deserved café stop, where a few of us relaxed over coffee and some lovely girly chatter, the perfect ending to a productive and heartwarming day.

This evening we were back at Elm Road playground for the second time, finishing off the work we started last week.

One of the walled edges of the park has around 10 panels that at one point in time were all covered in beautiful mosaics. Unfortunately most have now deteriorated so only 3 complete panels remain. The task was to scrape clean and sand down the panels (with no mosaics) to enable a local artist to paint it with a much more attractive mural.

Tonight's GoodGymers walked, cycled or ran to the task and soon got stuck in, most of us knowing what to do after last week. It was a messy job but great to make some more progress and we're all looking forward to seeing the final result after the artist has completed their work!m

We were very honoured that the Mayor came to pay us a visit and he got stuck in, once he had removed his chains, and helped to scrape and sand like the rest of us.

We also welcomed Nikita on her first task - thank you for joining us! Hope to see you at another task soon.
