Back at Westcombe Woodlands, and this time we had royalty. Alongside mere mortals Jenny, Aman and Ivar, Marta rocked up fresh from junior parkrun having officially ascended to the GoodGym pantheon of gods with 1000 tasks!!

No red carpet awaited, so we made our own, hauling bucket after bucket of woodchip up the narrow paths and spreading it across the mud.

By the end, we’d mulched the mission, and left the trail looking tree-mendous.

On a grey, but thankfully dry, Sunday morning, six GoodGym-ers headed down to support Hornfair junior parkrun in Charlton. We helped the wonderful volunteer team with various roles including marshalling, timekeeping, and delivering the first timer's welcome.

After the usual lively warm-up, the junior runners were off! There were plenty of smiles as everyone completed two kilometres in their own way - by running, walking, skipping, and jumping. 23 runners took part this week, including a few coming along for the very first time - a big increase on the 6 from last week!

To top it all off, this event marked a truly incredible milestone - it was Marta’s 1000th good deed! And what better way to celebrate than surrounded by community spirit and high-fives?

A fantastic morning all round, which was followed by the usual coffee and catch up at the wonderful Old Cottage Cafe, before a few of us headed onwards to more volunteering at Westcombe Woodlands.
