It was never in doubt. Anastasia committed to the January Challenge 2025, and they only went and did it.

Tool, dark and handsome

Hounslow Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

First up, the amazing news. GoodGym Hounslow absolutely smashed its January target. That's right, despite the freezing weather and dark evenings, team Hounslow managed to clock up an amazing 80 good deeds and 1133 kms (so far) thereby exceeding the goal. Absolutely brilliant work, a high five to each and every one of you!

Last night we came from all directions on foot and two wheels and converged at Cavendish school for the first time in a while. The new caretaker, Andrew, took Chris through all the jobs to be one. Chris then expertly took the lead and we all chose our area to work on.

The jobs were to transport logs and branches to the nature area, and to clear the playground of the many, many (many) fallen leaves.

As usual, tools were at a premium and there was some bartering to be done over the best kit for the job. Somehow I ended up with the kid sized fork and spade, which proved to be surprisingly effective, while Michelle raked, Chris shoveled, Alan wheelbarrowed, Luis loaded and Beth, Jonny, Emily and Kymm swept and collected like troopers.

It was difficult to know when to stop, but with the school area looking much clearer and neater we downed our respective tools, and made our way into the night.

The fitness session for the evening was based on agility for runners, and it proved to showcase some extremely impressive fast feet, dexterity and coordination. The team bounded its way three times over some (badly drawn) chalk ladder runs, leaps and other drills. Runners need to use fast reflexes, coordination, and quick reaction time to react to situations with speed and efficiency, both on road but especially cross country. Kudos for navigating the course with such efficiency!

January may be almost over, but there is plenty to get you motivated into February. To kick off, join run leader Chris next wednesday for this group session] (https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/helping-with-the-comboni-garden-project-17d2f68b-4db8-4f18-82c1-72806969f20e) or sign up for our new mission at the local Age Concern friendship club!

Pret a porter

Westminster Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

Picking up food to deliver to the on the streets team at Under One Sky so it can get to rough sleepers has become a regular task for us at GoodGym Westminster. Sometimes there isn't much for us, but when it turns out to be a bumper night, like last night, it couldn't be better!

First stop was the bakery, which had a huge haul of warm pastries to hand over. As I made my way to the Under One Sky walking team, it was with the sweet smell of toasty treats wafting up to meet me. Not a bad way to navigate the streets of Victoria! I dropped off the goodies, and then made my way to Pret to pick up the rest of the evening's sustenance.

Handing over a big sack and pointing to the unsold sandwiches, it was like being a kid in a sweet shop! I was able to fill the bag to the brim with all sorts of delicious things. Swinging the sack over my shoulder like an out of season Santa, I made my way back to do the handover. It was a bit of pret-a-porter followed by some pret-a-manger!

We ran to our first task and got to work not a moment too spoon - before we hit the wall

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

It was a double header of a Monday group session last night - just the thing to ward off any lingering January vibes!

We also got to welcome Andy to his first run - great to have you join us. To put us in the right frame of mind to kick off the evening, we did a dynamic warm up and then each shared one thing that cheers us up. Running came up top, as did going to the garden centre, playing with the dogs, and coming to GoodGym. What a wholesome bunch we are!

We set off in the drizzle, weaving our way round the Clapham commuters, and eventually arriving at Age UK Wandsworth for our first task of the evening. With Sophie leading the group, the first job was to drop off old magazines so the service users can repurpose them into art projects. Kudos to Steph for her very classy choice of reading material!

While the team got on with planting bulbs in the raised beds with old spoons as their tool of choice for the evening, as well as clearing leaves in the car park, the rest of us ran down to Bramford Garden. Our job was to help Shah, the community gardener, get rid of a massive piece of graffiti that appeared recently. Shah has been working on it singlehandedly for a while, but the sheer scale of it was too big for one person so she called in reinforcements.

We each grabbed a wire brush and gloves, and got stuck in. It was hard going but satisfying work. Certain colours were strangely harder to remove than others, but with some serious elbow grease we slowly got there -with Pritesh even making sparks fly!

With not one but two tasks successfully completed and the rain threatening to come down even harder, we hit the road. But don't worry, there is plenty more GGing to look forward to! There is this task tonight helping out an environmental clothes store packing up their sale - and it's a nice toasty inside job! Or why not help Jason and his team build tree protectors - the perfect way to kick off the weekend.
