Despite the pouring rain, two Goodgymers braved the wet weather to help out at the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre foodbank. Rain or shine, our commitment to community doesn't stop! Spirits remained high, especially when we met a customer rocking the ultimate waterproof setup, complete with a brilliant, handmade newspaper hat. A wonderful reminder that a bit of imagination and resourcefulness can brighten even the gloomiest Friday afternoon.

I got on well today I was there for a couple of hours Just the two of us

We headed out in a light drizzle with our friends from Holy Trinity, and it turned into one of our longer runs as darkness fell. 🌆 Nobody was dampened (spirits, that is). 💦

Tonight was prep for our screening of the People's Emergency Briefing in a few weeks' time. We pounded the pavements and flyered the neighbourhood to get locals excited and signed up. Honestly, we really did leaflet it all out there! 🥳📄

Tonight's flyers-in-chief: Ben, Tilly, Jo, RJ, Fi, Adam and Nicole 🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️💪🏼

A lovely evening for a run, fun friends to share it with, and Tilly's baking (incredible as ever 🍰) gave us a post-run treat to cake home... Another great task well done! 🧰❤️

See you at the next one (it's the social btw!). Bring a brolly... or just embrace the drizzle! ☔

GoodGymers joined the brilliant core team at Vauxhall Gardens Foodbank, helping to serve and support the local community. With over 100 customers coming through, it was another busy session and a real team effort.

Distribution runs from 12 noon to 3pm, and it’s a huge job, so we ideally need volunteers who can stay for the whole session. If you’re free on one of the upcoming days, or have flexible working and can spare a few hours, your help would be very much appreciated.

Every extra pair of GoodGym hands really does make a difference.

Another week, another crew of Lambeth legends lacing up for good! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ We set off from Papa's and ran to Windmill Gardens, where the weeds had clearly been plotting a takeover. 🌿😱

Our heroes Ben, Michael, Jo (who led the session ❤) Dan, Fi, Tilly (who baked!), Rich, RJ and Adam rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in. 💪🏼 There was weeding (we really got to the root of the problem 🪴), manual work (we nailed it 🔨), and general sprucing (we left the place looking trashy in the best possible way 🗑️✨).

Special shoutout to Dan, who dug so deep we think he found Australia. 🦘 Fi and Jo tackled the tasks like they owed them money 💸, and Ben, Michael and Adam had to share a teeny tiny pumpkin which didn't turn into a carriage. 🧰

Hats off to the whole team for being absolutely un-fork-gettable. 🍴🌻 Waterworks allotments is looking thyme-lessly gorgeous, and the community will love it! ❤️

Same time next week? We'll be there, ready to turnip and make a difference! 🥕😉

Friday morning session at Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre saw us prepare food generously donated by City Harvest and the Felix Project on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, which we organised for a midday collection. With over 90 people expecting to use Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre food bank service, we needed to ensure we had enough food to give out - preparing fruits, vegetables, bread, pastries, snacks and canned foods.
