Hackney Report written by Islington runner
In the final act of a multi-stage Goodgym task, Anne and David re-hung three curtains for Ms S in rapid time.
The attractive tapestry curtains had been cleaned and pressed, all the curtain hooks were present & Ms S had a very solid wooden step ladder - which made the job very straightforward.

Hackney Report written by anne malcolm
Mrs G had a familiar task for David and Anne - to remove an existing bed to make way for a new one that would provide Mrs G support and aid her mobility.
It was immediately evident that the outgoing bed was a solid specimen and was not going out without a fight. But armed with a good screwdriver and a great deal of experience, the two volunteers made steady progress.
Pressure mounted when it was revealed that the delivery of the new bed, originally understood to be booked for later that day, was in fact already behind schedule and could turn up any moment!
A final encouraging kick completed the dismantling stage and the final parts of the bed were soon removed ready for the arrival of the new bed.

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
Area Activator Simon caught up with Luke and Mehmet on a glorious Monday evening at the Arsenal Community Hub- still hitting mid 20° Celsius. Toasty running weather for a social run to the Camden Estate Community Gardens just off York Way- a new task location set up through a Goodgym HQ referral. Together, we enjoyed a jog and chat down George's Road, and through Caledonian Park. The park is due to host a lovely local festival in a few weeks- the Caledonian Park Clocktower Festival on Sunday 4th August (find out more here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-clocktower-festival-tickets-923144619407).
Upon our arrival, we met with gardening volunteer Alain, and fellow Goodgymmers Anne, Alison, Martin and Dan. Our objective for the evening was to completely blitz an old plot of soil of any green waste and weeds (using hoes, forks, spades and trowels) ready for use by community gardeners. A huge job for a single person, but a far quicker effort by our enthusiastic crew! Throughout our session, we were observed by friendly cats, balcony dogs and curious children, wondering what the red shirted people were up to!
Planting highlights in the Camden Estate Community Gardens included a former bathtub made into a planter for cauliflowers, loads of beds full of chard, kale and spinach, a beautiful apple tree and a collection of handmade wooden children's toys being fixed around the tool shed. Within 50 minutes, our team had made a full transformation of the planting bed- absolutely excellent efforts everyone!
Next week we will return to Timbuktu Adventure Playground. Sign up here to get involved!

A fantastic task for post-parkrun runners at Highbury Fields or Finsbury Park!
Elizabeth House Community Centre, in partnership with Islington Council, Highbury Quadrant Tenants and Residents Association, Highbury Councillors and community organisations transformed three unloved and unusable green spaces on Highbury Quadrant estate.
These green spaces have been designed into three distinct spaces, improving bio-diversity and the local environment. There is now a beautiful meadow, an orchard and woodland areas.
Local residents have the opportunity to access these green spaces and take part in gardening and nature based activities, every Saturday mornings 10 am to 12 pm.
