Root puns have a way of growing on you 😋
And what a lovely morning we had rooting around at Roots4Life and finding lots of rubbish to fill our bags and take us off the straight and narrow and into the beautiful and boggy grounds at this amazing charity.
Six GoodGymers (and one honourary) gathered for a briefing from Sophie before donning some spare wellies and walking boots, gathering some bags and pickers and heading out to enjoy some chatting whilst picking up litter around the space. Our treasure included a tie and a fetching orange ball which Arthur kept!
Before long it was time for a welcome cuppa and a gorgeous piece of banana bread - what a treat! Special shout out to Justine and Alicia for joining - it was lovely to meet you both and hope we'll see much more of you.
We'll be back here on a monthly basis to help out with various projects so keep your eyes peeled for future dates!
There's a task at Lesnes Abbey Woods tomorrow and on Wednesday we'll be at Hurst Community Centre - do come along if you're free!
Until next time!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
It's been nearly a whole month since we last helped the American International Church's winter shelter.
That was New Year's Day when the streets were quiet... restful... contemplative...
...yesterday the streets were positively noisy... thoroughly restless... and (perhaps) quite thoughtless!
Eight of us - Alex, Alison, Charlie, Jackie, John, JC, and Steve - gathered in Somers Town - in a nook of quiet - to warm up with a game of Simon Says, before we navigated our way (while sharing stories and conversation) through Bloomsbury's bustle.
A wonderful group of four - Gosia, Ivar, Jo-Anne (on their first good deed - welcome!!), and Will - met us on Tottenham Court Road and we descended down into the basement from which scents from the evening's cooking were bubbling..!
If I'd set up a time-lapse camera, I'd now be able to see a wash of red t-shirts sifting duvets from sheets, pillow cases from towels, amidst camp beds popping up and out and into place. In 25 minutes, this group set up a welcoming space for the evening's guests.
And while this was happening...
Another group were speedily opening tables, arranging chairs, and laying tablecloths - the empty room became the dining room - and it was fit for the food (also being cooked by volunteers) in the kitchen next door.
A big thank you to you all! As well as to our brilliant host, Brooke! Here's to next time!!

Justine earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Justine completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Justine was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.
