Karen and Pete met at Beer n Burger, warmed up then jogged on a damp evening to Abbey Community Centre via a back route to keep off the main road. There they met Beatriz and Lee and were given instructions by Jason from ACC. It was all about mopping. Pete did the toilets, Karen and Beatriz the main lounge area and Lee the kitchen. Floors were soon shining. Time for a group photo then off to our respective destinations. Thanks Lee for the pun. Well done team 👍.

It was a wet and cold Monday night , which may have put off most of GoodGym Brent , but did not put off Tabitha and Pete! We jogged 3km to meet the ever grateful Jason at Abbey community centre. He welcomed us and shared some leaflets showcasing upcoming community sessions, as well as volunteering opourtunities. We shared out the leaflets and delivered leaflets to the local houses. Thankfully the heavy rain that was forecast stayed away , and after flyering, we jogged back for a well deserved drink

Lizzy, Lee, Samina, Josh and Pete met at Beer and Burger, did a warm-up, jogged 3.5km to the Abbey community centre where we met Jason. He provided us with gloves, rakes, secutters and bags and showed us what to do. We raked all the leaves, collected all the twigs, did some weeding and tidied up the outside area to leave it nice and clear. Well done team. We jogged back 3.5km and had a quick drink in beer and burger. Great job. Nice to see Lizzy and Samina👍. Until next time!

Last Monday night, Josh and Tabitha laced up their running shoes and set off on a 3-kilometer run from their starting point to Abbey Community Centre. The refreshing breeze and the rhythm of their footsteps propelled them towards their destination, ready to make a positive impact upon arrival.
Upon reaching Abbey Community Centre, they were greeted by Holly and Lee, fellow GoodGym volunteers . It was Holly's first time participating in a GoodGym Brent activity, and it was great to welcome a new member of the team.
The task for the day wascleaning the windows of Abbey Community Centre. Josh skillfully utilized a long pole to reach the higher windows, ensuring a thorough cleaning process. Tabitha, Holly, and Lee attentively cleaned the remaining windows, paying attention to the details and ensuring a streak-free finish. Their dedication and attention to cleanliness aimed to create a welcoming space for all who visit the community center.
With their task completed and the windows sparkling clean, the GoodGym Brent volunteers took a moment to appreciate their collective accomplishment. Satisfied with a job well done, they bid farewell to Abbey Community Centre and embarked on their run back home.

Goodgym Brent met on Monday and welcomed Josh to the group, first time for Brent having moved from Islington.., and definitely not the last. Pete led the group to Abbey Community centre where we were warmly welcomed....with a contest to see who had the reddest face. Tabitha won, sorry everyone!
We were handed leaflets to spread to the neighbouring houses, containing details of the great community events run at the centre, and asking for volunteers or donations. We split into three groups and tackled a street each. Once all the leaflets were successfully distributed we jogged back to Kilburn and stopped in the Black Lion....where Becka revealed some birthday cakes for Lee...which had (just about ) survived the run!
Excellent work everyone! The team at Abbey were very pleased with our efforts.
