Another Tuesday, another band of Lambeth legends proving that the only thing we love more than a good run is getting so mulch done for the community. 💪🏼✨

Our superstar squad rolled out from Papa's in fine form — AA, Michael, Dan & Jo lacing up and hitting the tarmac on foot, while Fi, Katie, Nehal and Adam rolled deep on wheels and wellies (well, approximately). The vibes? Immaculate. The chat? Flowing faster than we were. 🍾😂

Our mission this evening took us to the wonderful Agnes Riley Gardens, where the brilliant Jo from Friends of Agnes Riley and Tom from Lambeth Parks had a job for us: spread woodchip along the hedges to give the freshly planted whips the best possible start to the new season. 🌱 Think of it as tucking the baby trees in for spring. Cosy! 🤗

And did we chip in? Oh, we chipped in HARD. The team shovelled, narrowed and spread that woodchip with the kind of efficiency that would make a professional landscaper weep with pride — job done in no time, leaving us the very important task of... standing around a pond staring at newts. 🦎❤️ And honestly? Absolutely worth it. The pond was JUMPING (well, crawling, they're newts) with wildlife and we are not ashamed to say we were absolutely giddy about it.

🌟 SPECIAL SHOUTOUT 🌟

A massive welcome to Nehal, who joined us for her very first Group Run tonight! Having already dipped her toes in with Community Missions alongside Katie, Nehal is clearly committed to the GoodGym life — and we are SO here for it. Welcome to the madness, we love having newt members of the team. 😱🤩

Until next time, Lambeth — keep running, keep giving, and for the love of all things good, keep spreading the chip. 🌿🏃‍♀️💚

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report 🏃‍♀️💨 Four the Love of the Planet! 🌍

Well, well, well… what do we have here? Not ONE, not TWO, not THREE, but FOUR shiny new faces joining the GoodGym Lambeth crew this week! 🎉

That’s right — we didn’t just pick up litter, we picked up people too. Welcome to the fold, Treena, Paul, Dann & Kirsty, who clearly decided that finishing a long shift at work just wasn’t quite enough suffering for one day. Respect. 💪🏼🍾

The Task: Not a Twozy. Not Even a Threezy… Wait, Actually Yes a Threezy. 🗑️ This week’s mission was an absolute trash of a good time (in the best possible way).

We went full triple-threat with: 🗺️ GoodGym classic litter picking 🌊 Planet Patrol 🧴 The Big Plastic Count The goal? Grab as much recycling and plastic as humanly possible and give our community a well-deserved glow-up. And boy, did we deliver.

Several black bags filled to the brim and safely recycled — that’s not just good deeds, that’s re-MARK-able work. You could say we really bagged this one. 😱🤩

The planet is cleaner, our legs are tired, and our hearts are full. See you next week — and Treena, Paul, Dann & Kirsty, you’ve got no excuses now. You already know we’re worth the post-work schlep! 😊❤️

Keep running. Keep doing good. Try not to step in anything suspicious. 🫡​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

GoodGym Lambeth | Run Report 🌿🏃💚 Leaf It To Us!

Well, well, well — our magnificent mob of do-gooding runners were out in full force this week, descending on the streets of Lambeth like a very fit, very enthusiastic swarm of locusts. (Sorry Dan, we know, we know — new start point, new us. Change is growth! 🌱)

The vibes? Immaculate. The chat? Absolutely flowing. The pace? Fast enough to feel smug, slow enough to finish a sentence. 💬✨

The Task 🍂 This week we headed over to The Lunch Club Streatham at their Woodlawns site, where nature had — shall we say — gone a bit feral. Leaves, twigs, fallen branches: the full autumnal chaos package. Our mission was to wrestle the outdoor space into shape ahead of an exciting planting project and lunch service when the warmer weather finally stops being so shy. ☀️🤞

And wrestle we did. No leaf was left unturned (literally), no branch left unstowed. By the end, we had: 🗑️ 10+ bulging bin bags filled and destined for composting 🚮 Litter picked to within an inch of its life 🪵 Branches stashed ready for a future task — because the fun never stops! The outdoor space is looking twig-mendously better. We’re not saying we’re heroes, but… the evidence speaks for itself. 🦸

The Shoutouts 🎉 🎂 Ben — massive birthday shoutout incoming! The big day is TOMORROW, which means tonight’s run was basically his pre-birthday workout. Iconic behaviour. Many happy returns, Ben!

🚴 Adam — joined us for his very first GoodGym run! Usually found terrorising the streets on two wheels, tonight he used his actual legs like the rest of us. Welcome to the fold, Adam — we’ve got a feeling the bike might get a bit jealous. 😄

💯 Michael — brace yourselves… Michael has just hit 100 months of GoodGym. ONE HUNDRED. That’s over 8 years of showing up, doing good, and being generally wonderful. We are not worthy. 🙌😱🤩

See you all next week — same do-gooders, different start point (sorry again Dan 👀).​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
