The days are getting longer and the Lambeth team were down at Papa's enjoying the last rays of the sun as it dipped below the houses on Pulross Rd because it was Tuesday and that can only mean one thing - Group Run time.

This evening was a classic help out our friends session so we were heading out to post flyers for our friends at Get Rid of and Donate as well as some GoodGym ones to raise awareness of two awesome organisations (if we do say so ourselves).

Four members so Manos, Tilly, Katie and AA Yianny set off on a lovely loop through Brixton and down to Brockwell Park before heading back and starting the leafletting around the Rattray and Mayall Road block.

We had a decent chunk of flyers so divided them up but by 5 to 8 we were standing triumphantly by the side of St Matthew's Church with empty hands and a feeling of achievement!

So that's it, another great task and another fun evening. Big congratulations to Tilly for setting a new PB on her half marathon the weekend past, to Katie for hitting a double session trail run + GG group run and Manos who was back for his second ever session (one of the family now!)

Get Rid and Donate made a meaningful impact by donating clothes to the resilient individuals at the Best West Hotel in Peckham. We engaged in hands-on efforts, hanging clothes, organizing racks and tables, and receiving new donations. By registering residents for the WhatsApp group for the next session, we fostered community connections. It was inspiring to meet so many diverse people, each with their own unique story.

Goodgymers Keith and Brenda assisted the regular volunteers team with sorting the kind clothing and household donations from the local community , on a beautiful sunny afternoon. .

everything is fine!

Three GG’ers met at St Faith’s to help GROAD set-up ‘Open House’ on a particularly cold Sunday afternoon in North Dulwich.

Once the team had their instructions, many piles of books, toys and accessories (including a neoprene wet-suit), shoes and clothes were unpacked, sorted and arranged in an easy-to-access display for customers.

Dan proved to be a clothes rail fixing power-house and got calmly stuck-in with helping straight away.

This was Megan’s first GoodGym experience and I’m already looking forward to seeing her at more tasks and fun socials events soon. Welcome Megan!

We met at the sports club only to find that nothing was waiting for us to sort. After hasty check-ins with GROAD and other GoodGym buddies, Mansur departed on his trusty steed and Emma hot-footed it to another task round the corner.
