On arrival we set to work to ensure the venue looked the part before the doors opened. The team mucked right in with:

• Unloading & Labelling: Flexing our muscles to unload crates of delicious food, followed by putting our best handwriting to use to write out recipe and ingredient labels.

• Table Decorating: Transforming the space by dressing and decorating tables to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

• The Inevitable Gardening: Look, we just couldn't help ourselves. Sweeping away summer leaves and digging out unruly weeds near the entrance, we staged a quick intervention to make sure the catwalk looked pristine.

Once the guests started arriving, we switched gears into hosting mode, greeting attendees with big smiles and doing whatever else we could to help.

After all the hard work, we were treated to the live entertainment, but the fun didn't stop there. When the event needed an extra hand, one of the team stepped up to support the fashion show.

It was an incredible, action-packed extended session for a fantastic cause. Well done to everyone involved.

Tonight the team made their first-ever visit to Cranmer Primary in Mitcham, and we certainly didn't leaf any stone unturned! To conquer the massive site, we split our forces into two teams. Four hi-vis heros braved the school gates and headed into the alley to clear out the stubborn litter trapped in the ditch. Meanwhile, the rest of the team tackled the playground areas, making a clean sweep of the scattered debris. Together, we covered a massive amount of ground, and an even bigger mountain of leaves and litter - filling several black bags. Top of the class for the GoodGym Merton team 👏!

A good sized group of us got stuck in at Martin Way Methodist church this evening for our weekly group session.

I’d never seen the garden, so it was a joy to see the oasis out the back of the church.

Abby told us what was what and we divided ourselves into weeding, watering, composting, pruning and moving things! A lot was achieved (including removing a whole bush!) and a lovely evening was had by all.

First up on the agenda: the goody bags. stuffing, prepping, and fixing up the event goody bags with all the extra treats, making sure they were absolutely perfect for the arriving guests.

But the workout didn't stop there. Once the bags were sorted, it was time for some classic GoodGym heavy lifting and shifting boxes to get the site looking shipshape. Followed by more goody bags!

We rewarded ourselves with a yoga class and then indulged in the festival offerings - what s lovely day. Thanks for having us Wellnergy.
