Standing to a-trench-tion

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

It was another busy night in Wandsworth yesterday, featuring a bit of thinking outside the (cardboard) box, a lovely visit from Cardiff GGers, a beautiful plough moon and the monthly pub quiz!

It all kicked off with some cheering for Annabel and Pritesh, who smashed the Olympic park half marathon yesterday, a reminder that there are two Missions this weekend, and welcoming Ben to his first ever GoodGym session. We then did our warm up, each had a guess at which country has the most islands (well done Felix!) and then set off for Doddington community garden.

We arrived soon after to find Beth, Johnnie, Catherine and Veronica already hard at work, and settled down to the tasks. These included pulling mallow, clearing grass, digging a trench (lovely job, Johnnie!) and laying down cardboard.

Turns out that it was the perfect day to be doing it - the plough moon traditionally marks the beginning of the growing season. We couldn't have timed it better! With such high energy levels we whipped through the jobs. Check out the very impressive before and after shots!

Not quite finished, we headed down to the square for fitness. This week we got competitive, pairing up for a challenge that involved dashing round the circuit combined with strength exercises. There was some amazing form from everybody, but Jordan and Felix's tactical approach saw them take gold. Great work everybody.

Next week we're back at Larkhall to do some prepping and planting - hope to see you there!

Crepe expectations

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

We had a flipping great time in Wandsworth last night as we enjoyed pancake day, birthdays - and a whole lot of positive impact!

There was lots of good news to share, including these two upcoming missions:

Not only was it almost pancake day and a sweet social to look forward to, but it was also Jo's birthday - so there was plenty to celebrate. After our warm we each guessed how many pancakes are eaten across the UK today, with Ali's guess coming closest to the whopping 117 million total!

We set off for our task at Larkhall Park where after a bit of confusion about our meeting spot we met Theresa with tools and instructions. Our job for the evening was to weed an area so it can be planted up with hundreds of new plants, and to clear the troublesome bamboo - which was more stubborn than we anticipated.

After half an hour of solid effort we had made a big difference, and we just had time to squeeze in fitness session based on isometric holds to improve our strength and stability.

A quick run back to base and it was pancake time! Great work everybody. Sophie will be leading you in a session at the GoodGym garden next week, so why not sign up to start the week off right!

Orange-inal gangsters

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

We had some amazing milestones to celebrate last night, with Ali earning her GoodGym wings by doing an incredible 100 good deeds, and Jordan getting to 300 good deeds. Such an achievement making a really big difference in Wandsworth - give them a cheer! And while you're at it, please put your hands together for Catherine and Jack who both came along for their first GoodGym session - brilliant to have you both join us.

We started off the night with a warm up and a reminder about this session coming up on Saturday. This is a big task and we really need some more helping hands -it's going to be a great workout and one that has a big impact at a local nursery school.

After a short run down to Doddington, we were met by Malissa, who divided us up into groups and got the tasks underway. From strawberry snipping to raking, mallow pulling to weeding and planting there was plenty to do. Not forgetting some more work on those infamous orange planters that have made it into GoodGym history! This time these colourful yet massive planters needed yet more shifting about and some compost dug out of them. We' ll be back before long to plant in them.

After a good stint in the garden it was time for our fitness. Teaming up into partners we alternated from and upper body to lower body focus, keeping the intensity high and getting all those muscles working.

Great job everybody!

Next week we're off to the scout hall - hope to see you there!

Ali done 100 good deeds with GoodGym.

Ali has just reached another level: 100 good deeds with GoodGym. That's at least 100 times when they could have easily done something easier. But they didn't, Ali has kept going and going. Helping a lot of other people and getting a bit fitter at the same time. Congratulations Ali.

Cake it or leaf it

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

There was so much to celebrate on a sunny Saturday morning in Battersea, including

  • A double birthday celebration, with both task owner and Doddington community garden lead volunteer Malissa and GG Wandsworth's Felix both marking a very special occasion!

  • Ali reaching a huge milestone - 100 good deeds! That's such a huge amount of community impact, commitment and positivity spread throughout Wandsworth. Way to go Ali!

  • Welcoming Armin to his very first GoodGym session - lovely to have you join us!

There was lots to get done, including sorting pots, digging up grass, snipping strawberries, sweeping leaves and replanting Japanese anemone - so we grabbed tools and got down to business!

After an hour of hard work the garden was looking a lot tidier and the Doddington team were pleased with everything we got done. All that was left to do was celebrate with cake and then on to a coffee nearby! Well done everybody, what a way to kick off the weekend.
