On a mild Lambeth evening, our GoodGym superstars turned up in gooseberry great numbers for a task that was truly berry satisfying. 💪🏼🍾🌿

Our mission: dig out several gooseberry bushes and relocate them (via barrows!) to the orchard garden behind the church. And honestly? It was completed in no time — proving once again that many hands make light work… and strong legs make lightly complaining work. 😅🚜

Now, we can’t confirm there was extra speed in the air… but we may have been powered by the knowledge that an end-of-month social was waiting for us. Motivation? ✅ Relocation? ✅ Social-ocation? Also ✅ 🤗

Huge thanks to Adam and Nicole, our absolute legends of the evening, who hosted us and did not disappoint: food, drink, and board games aplenty! ❤️🍕🍻🎲 (Let it be known: we came to transplant bushes, but we stayed to transplant ourselves into competitive board-game personalities.)

A wonderful time was had by all — and yes, we definitely got to know each other a LOT better too 😏😂. By the end of the night, we’d also uncovered the true solution to modern life’s troubles: a cucumber suit, tequila, salami t-shirts, and a very active ‘social life’. 🥒👔🍹🥓😄

So, to summarise: we moved bushes, moved barrows, and moved straight into chaos (the fun kind). Until next time, Lambeth — stay berry brilliant! 🍇✨💚

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report: Mulch Ado About Something! 🌿🏃‍♀️

Lambeth AA was away with work, but fear not — Tilly valiantly stepped in and led the charge like a true capTAIN of cardio. With spirits high and shoelaces tightened, we headed out to get fit while doing good… and boy did we deliver.

This week’s mission: mulch mulch mulch (and then, for variety, a bit more mulch). We got properly stuck in with heaps of green-fingered activity — spreading, shifting, tidying and turning the area into a mulch improved masterpiece. Let’s just say we really put the “stand” in “outstanding horticulture”.

Huge kudos to everyone for mucking in (literally). It was sweaty, soil-sational, and thoroughly com-positive in the best way.

Brilliant work, team — we absolutely smashed it… and then mulched it. 🌱👏

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report: Operation Soggy Spruce-Up! 🌧️💪

What a turnout! Despite Mother Nature’s best efforts to rain on our parade (literally), our incredible crew showed up in drench-force! 🌊 Everyone arrived looking like they’d already done a charity swim, but that didn’t dampen our spirits one bit!

*The Mission: Time to give our beloved base at Papa’s Park some serious TLC. *

We weeded out the competition (literally - those pesky plants didn’t stand a chance!), gave the place a good litter pick, and showed those railings what elbow grease really means. They’re now so clean you could eat your dinner off them… though we don’t recommend it! 🍽️✨

The Result: Those railings are absolutely railing it now - shinier than a new penny and gleaming with pride! ❤️ Papa’s Park is looking park-ticularly magnificent thanks to our green-thumbed heroes.

The Vibes: Despite being absolutely soaked to the bone, the chat was flowing faster than the rainwater, and the energy was absolutely TOP TIER! 💪🏼🍾 Nothing says team bonding quite like squelching around together in soggy trainers, am I right?

Proof that GoodGym Lambeth doesn’t let a little (okay, a LOT of) rain stop us from making our community bloom! 🌱🌟​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report: Flyering in the Drizzle 🌧️

Mission: Spread the GoodGym love (and flyers) across Lambeth Weather: Grizzly drizzly (aka British summer preview) Mood: Absolutely soaking in good vibes ✨

Fresh off crushing our January Challenge targets 💪🏼🍾, we decided to ride that wave of positive energy straight into… well, an actual wave of rain. Because nothing says “let’s go outside” quite like horizontal drizzle, right? 😅

But did the weather dampen our spirits? Mist- ifyingly not! (Sorry, had to get that one out of my system 🎺)

Our superhero squad of Marie (Poppins - practically perfect in every way ☂️), Noelle, and Katie braved the elements to leaf-let the good people of Lambeth know about their local community fitness miracle workers.

We may have been getting soggy, but our enthusiasm was waterproof! 💧 Sure, the rain didn’t exactly flyer us up with motivation at first, but there’s something special about delivering these little paper ambassadors to our neighbours. Every letterbox is a potential new runner, every flyer a future friend getting fit while doing good ❤️

Mission status: Smashed it (just like our hair, which was thoroughly -smashed by the rain) Pun count: Too many to count

Community spirit: 11/10 would drizzle again 🌈

Keep being legendary, team! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
