Tonight, the mission of 7 GoodGym-ers was delivering flyers through letterboxes, for Woolwich Food Cycle, a project helping volunteers turn food donated by local shops & businesses into delicious healthy meals for those in the community who most need them.

Special shout out to Calvin who did his first good deed this evening - it was great to have you with us Calvin and hope you'll be back soon!

We started with a wistful discussion over our favourite holiday destinations before making our way through Charlton Park and on to the Woolwich Common estate, where our task began. Our tag delivery teams quickly ran out of leaflets, admiring the houses along the way (GoodGym is great for discovering new places on your doorstep!). As always we were ready for further adventures so completed the task with a quick litter pick (thanks to Rachel for bringing the litter pick stash!).

Hope to see you all soon - next week we're teaming up with Bexley 😊

This week we gathered at the Old Royal Naval College and shared stories of our worst jobs before a run up maze hill towards the lovely St Richard's Centre in Charlton.

This was our first task at the church and there's loads we can help out with here, from weeding and painting to sanding and varnishing the lovely old doors.

Owen met us with tools at the ready and the rain held off right to the end of our task which was a nice bonus. The task tonight was weeding down the side of the church, a spot that needs a bit of tlc to make sure people stop dumping rubbish there! 7 hands make light if not prickly work with some hidden brambles - our head torches came in handy. We made it quite a way up the path and will continue at our next session.

Next week we're leafleting for the Woolwich foodcycle: https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/group-run-fun-session-tbc

Until next time!

A small but mighty group gathered at Glass Mill, not put off by the rain and the dark nights! The other small but mighty group were meeting us at The Albany so by the time we arrived we were a medium and mighty group ready to tackle whatever litter The Albany had to throw at us!!

After a couple of visits with minimal litter, tonight was the complete opposite. We ended up with bags and bags of litter including a pair of sandals, plenty of beer bottles and cans.

Next week, we have a brand new tasks and all hands on deck needed to tackle the overgrown allotment.

As part of a local community group called "Clean Up Charlton" a few of us went out litter picking on Sunday morning. The sun was shining was it was a fairly jolly way to spend the morning. We were joined by another litter picking group in Charlton, so it was good to join forces with them.
