Two GoodGymers joined the VGCC core team to prep for the food bank session, doing their best to stay cool in the amber‑alert heat. The fans were giving it their all, we kept water close, and everyone pushed through a seriously sweaty afternoon. Even the fruit looked like it was melting.

Two GoodGymers stepped up and helped the VGCC core team serve over 80 food bank users on a very hot Friday afternoon , real good deeds, good vibes, GoodGym energy. The last hour is our GoodGym cool‑down: packing down, sweeping up, and leaving the space looking gym‑tastic.

We managed to sort some deliveries for this coming Friday for our clients, which was not much, but hopefully will be enough.

Another scorcher, another squad of good eggs trading the sofa for a sweat sesh with a purpose! This week the Lambeth crew rolled back into Wyck Forest Gardens to reunite with the legend that is Heather, on a mission critical, code-red, hosepipe-adjacent task: watering 🥵💦

Turns out the recent heat has had the garden gasping worse than us after the run over — and the young whips (the apple, pear and friends contingent 🍏🍐) were in serious need of some TLC before they wilted into fruit salad prematurely.

On the team sheet today: Adam West, Ark , Ben , Katie , Michael , Rich and Yianny — seven brilliant humans who showed up to sweat first, hydrate plants second 💪🏼

The mission, soggily accomplished:

• 🛒 Two full trolley runs — basically a shopping spree, except instead of snacks we were hauling watering cans
• 🐘 One epic showdown with the 120kg water beast — if you know, you know. Respect to Rich who wheeled that unit without needing their own rehydration break afterwards
• 🧰 A generous helping of compost TLC, because even dirt deserves a little love ❤️

Whips watered, trolleys wrangled, water beast tamed — Wyck Forest Gardens is looking noticeably less crispy thanks to this lot. Heather, we’ll see you again soon (bring backup water beasts) 🥵🌱

Huge thanks to everyone who turned out — you ran so the young whips didn’t have to wilt. Same time next week? 😊🍾

Three GoodGym volunteers joined the VGCC crew, unpacking deliveries, sorting donations, and getting the foodbank ship-shape before the 12pm opening. With plenty of can-do spirit, we helped keep the shelves stocked, the crates moving, and the food ready to roll for foodbank users to choose from during the session. 📦🥫

Today, we served over 100 customers, ensuring everyone received something. No one left empty-handed.
