Tomorrow Welling Station will celebrate its 130th birthday and 200 years of the railway.

Tonight we ran, walked and cycled to the station to help with final preparations for their party.

First we swept 🧹🧹🧹 the approach road where stalls and displays will be put up. So many cigarette butts!

Then we sealed goody bags that will be given to winners of a competition to design railway-themed posters 🚂. All the lovely entries are on display in the ticket hall. We hope passengers will pause to appreciate them as they pass through the area.

Next, we pinned flyers promoting local community organisations onto a noticeboard that will be on display at the Discover Welling stand 📌📌📌. Of course, we included some GoodGym leaflets!

And we watered the flowerbeds 🌻🌷.

It was great to have Julie with us for her first GoodGym task. Having worked with us through Discover Welling on many tasks, we're thrilled to have you as part of the GG team.

The station team could not have been more welcoming and friendly. They've worked really hard to put up bunting, stuff goody bags ready to give away to travelers, and get things looking fab.

Happy birthday Welling Station 🎈🥳!

Tonight we made a return visit to Hurst Community Centre, this time to clear leaves from the outdoor area used by the nursery school.

It was a proper workout raking the soggy leaves into piles, scooping them into bags, and moving the bags aside for disposal.

Thirty five bags in fact!

It was a lovely evening to be outdoors and we worked hard to finish the job in just an hour. Now it's ready for the nursery children to enjoy tomorrow.

After posing for a group photo we headed off.

It was to fab to have Greg with us, welcome to GoodGym and congrats on your first good deed 👏.

This task was part of GoodGym's collaboration with WWF's Workout For Nature initiative, encouraging us all to get out in nature while giving it a helping hand.

We all met up outside the Welling Library ready to tackle the persistent weeds 🌱 sprouting alongside the building. Some of us run/walked, others came straight from work.

We set to work straight away and soon got the area looking spick and span. There were some lovely forget-me -nots growing along with some small yellow flowers 🌼 There is always a bonus when doing these tasks. You just have to look out for them. Joining forces with the WWF.

What a fabulous evening we had at the Parkview Care Home! After running 2km from the Sports Centre and with Martin on his bike, we met up with Sarah & Johnny already there.

Amy took us through to the inner garden area where there was plenty of patio furniture that needed our attention after being stacked up over the winter.

Johnny and Lisa placed an old bench in the skip after braking it up with a sledge hammer 🔨! Certainly made them feel better afterwards!

Two of the residents joined in with sweeping the area 🧹 which helped us and we were finished in no time!

Looking forward to going back soon!

After a short run down from the Crook Log Sports Center we met up with Ann at the Cannon. She had already started picking up paper blowing around in the wind! We managed to tidy the whole area and around the Library too. Ann managed to secure the lock on the gate which was proving to be tricky and we headed home just before the sunset 🌅.
