Delivery was not much, but I managed to sort it out for Friday handout.

What a session, Lambeth! 💪🏼

We linked back up with Tom from Lambeth Council to give Windrush Square and the area around Brixton Library some serious TLC — sweeping, weeding, and tidying our way to a cleaner, greener corner of Brixton. Turns out you can build glutes and community spirit at the same time. Who knew?

On the tools tonight:

Big love to this crew for trading their evening jog for a broom and a bin bag — proof that GoodGym really is where "leg day" meets "litter day" 🍾🥰

Windrush Square is looking sharper than our running form, and Brixton Library's front bed is finally weed-free (unlike our group chat, which remains a mess (jokes!)). 😱🤩

Same time next week, legends? See you on the streets — bring trainers, bring gloves, leave your excuses at home. 🏃♀️🧡

Distribution runs from 12 to 3pm, and we really need volunteers who can stay for the whole slot to keep things running smoothly. Our solo GoodGym volunteer stepped in today and took on bread duty like a pro, handing out loaves with plenty of appreciative comments from food bank users — from “No seeded bread today?” to “I can’t take the bread, I’ve got no butter” and the ever‑present “Is it in date.” It’s amazing what you hear when carbs take centre stage.

Our solo GoodGym volunteer really ran with it today, teaming up with the VGCC core crew to get the food bank set‑up sprinting along. They kept the pace strong from 9am, powering through crates and supplies like a relay champ and helping the whole operation hit its stride for distribution.

Helping Ms E out with weeding and cutting back overgrown trees

Tuesday night saw a cracking turnout as the GoodGym Lambeth crew rolled up (quite literally, in the case of several carpets) at Annick’s beloved waterworks allotments for an evening of heavy lifting, heavier furniture-breaking, and general green-fingered good deeds 🌱💪🏼

The task at hand: rug rolling, shelf smashing, and some good old-fashioned digging about — basically an extreme home makeover, allotment edition. Annick’s plot has never looked (or felt) so un-furnished 🛋️➡️🗑️

On the team sheet tonight:

• Ben Margerison — hauling carpets like they owed him money
• Michael Welsh — bringing the muscle and the smiles
• Katie Allan — no stranger to a task, this Lambeth legend just keeps racking them up 🏅
• Tilly Baker Hine — gardening gloves on, ready for anything
• Jo Bowen — allotment royalty for the evening
• Dan — 50 tasks deep and still showing up to demolish some furniture 🔨
• Fi — sleeves rolled up, spirits high
• Rich — new face, instant legend
• Libby Cannon — welcome to the chaos, Libby! 🎉

Between us we shifted more old stuff than a Sunday car boot sale, and left Annick’s allotment looking positively spring-cleaned 🧹✨

And because it was the last Tuesday of the month, work quickly turned to well-earned play — the gang swapped trowels for pints and toasted a job well done at the social afterwards 🍾😊 Nothing quite like bonding over a shared dislike of a particularly stubborn Billy bookcase.

Great work all round, Lambeth — you moved mountains (of carpet) tonight! 🥰
