We are back and moving!!

Helping a great Homeless charity get set up in their new home!

We have helped Rhythms of Life set up in a number of locations over the GoodGym years and we have another big effort to get stuck into! We will be doing everything from painting, shifting furniture, tidying, cleaning, and anything else we can fit in!

Meeting by the fountain in Green Park (just by the entrance to the Tube station) there will be the chance to walk or run to the task before we get stuck in!!

Would love to have you along so please sign up and come along!!

And we return back to Little Venice...again!

6 GoodGym runners welcomed the return of the Little Venice canal clear up with a solid session.

After a slight confusion with a other runners who were there for a marathon, we mobilised, equipped with our litter grabbers and buckets.

With the sun shining and crisp weather around, we set about clearing the canal from the church down to the basin collecting plenty of buckets worth of rubbish and waste.

A much welcomed return and just in time for the change in restrictions.

Well done to all involved!

Clean as a whistle, sharp as a thistle, the best in all Westminster were out in force today to put together some crates of food for local families in need.

First we human chained the tins, packets and boxes out of the shipping container and into categorised piles - beans, soups, biscuits, pasta&rice, puddings, cereals and sauces were all available. Then we divided them up into crates to make sure each household got a mix of everything. And finally we sprinkled some festive chocolates on the top and put the crates back neatly into the container for collection tomorrow.

Preparing to open their doors for the first time since lockdown, Open Age needed Goodgym's help to disenfect equipment needed for movements classes.

The race was on to clean lots and lots of yoga mats and weights. With three Goodgym members on the case everything was spick and span in no time!

In something of a cross between The Generation Game and Supermarket Sweep, four GoodGymers tidied up a shipping container of donated items for local homeless charity One Big Family.

After a quick briefing from Mike, we began emptying, resorting and reorganising the container so everything was in easy reach for the various events the team have planned throughout August.

A brief break between sorting boxes of bric-a-brac gave us an opportunity to reminisce about the time an episode of 90s interior make over programme Changing Rooms ended with an entirely smashed, much-loved teapot collection. It’s worth a YouTube search. Anyway, luckily we had more luck and everything remained intact.
