9 GoodGymers caught 60 good deeding minutes in Camden!

Nestled on an innocuous side road — out of reach from Kentish Town's bustle — is a super special and wonderfully accessible building...

..the Greenwood Centre serves local people with disabilities and it is all glass and sharp design and...

...community green spaces too!

Which is where this special group — of Ariane, Danny, Kamil, Karen, Lydia, Pritika, Steph, and Steve — spent 60 wonderful minutes on Wednesday!

Together we:

💚 Dug out a (huge) planter, removed (so many) deadwood branches, and installed new irrigation!

💚 Decanted stones and gravel and other helpful materials into small bags ready for easy access and use :)

💚 Watered sprouting broccoli!

💚 Cleared and sorted the tool shed :)

💚 Weeded a paving area leaving it neat and tidy!

Thank you so much, everyone!

Six GoodGymers braved the damp and cold to make a difference this Wednesday!

This wonderful group — of Charlie, Jackie, John, Kathleen, Steve, and Alex — turned up at Cecil Sharp House for our first visit of 2026!

There has been a bunch of building work at the house and our task was to clean things up — cue...

❤️ Jackie's wonderful leaf collecting and litter picking, turning the lawn and surrounding areas immaculate :)

❤️ One marvellous human chain making light (and swift) work shifting a true mountain of bags!

❤️ Gritty effort sweeping and raking and collecting all manner of building rubbish, leaves, and weeds!

Thank you so much, everyone!

12 GoodGymers from ALL OVER London caught some Camden good deeding last night!

Our group last night — super friendly and willing to help as always — hailed from the West and the East and the Middle of London!

It was a multi-borough affair and we were all there to do our usual good deeding at the American International Church for their Winter Shelter :)

Ana, Ariane, Jack, Jackie, Jacqui, John, Kash, Lucinda, Lydia, Steph, and Steve did the GoodGym usual and got completely stuck into all the helping:

❤️ 16 beds were assembled, dressed, and positioned ready for the evening's guests!

❤️ 1 dining room was set with tables and cutlery and napkins and sauces, and the bubbling scents from the kitchen made us want to stay!

❤️ Multiple boxes were lifted and shifted and moved to where they need to be!

And we left having had connection and laughter, and it all made yesterday's January evening feel a lot brighter!

See you next time!!

P.S. Thank you, Jacqui and Steph, for the wonderful photos!!

A wonderful 13 GoodGymers caught some social connection AND made a real difference in Camden!

While most Londoners hurried for the dry and the inside some Londoners (many dressed in red t shirts) were catching a different kind of Wednesday evening...

...and it started in Somers Town where Elisa (on their first good deed — welcome!), Jacob, Ivo, and Steve struck up a run and a conversation through evening bustle towards the American International Church...

...where they were met by not a few but many many many friendly faces 👉 including Ana, Ellen, and Fanny (all on their first good deeds — welcome!), and Alison, Caitlin, Ilana, Lydia, and Sarah!

We were on Tottenham Court Road to get everything ready for the AIC's weekly winter shelter 👉 cue shifting boxes, moving camp beds, finding duvets and sheets and covers, building tables, finding matching knives and forks, arranging toiletries, and more!

Thank you so much, everyone! Last night felt really joyful!

See you soon!

13 GoodGymers welcomed some wonderful good deeding into Camden this Wednesday!

It was the day of the ice. When Londoners slipped and slided. And most (sensible) folk tried to stay inside...

...but this wonderful group bucked that trend!

Charlie, Hassaan (on their first good deed — welcome!), Helen, Jack, Jackie, John, Kareem, Loz, Lydia, Rohan (on their first Camden good deed — welcome!), Steve, and Tam turned up ready and willing to be outside and active :)

After some meeting and greeting and a swift group warm up, we split into two groups to get moving with our task for the evening.

FoodCycle are a special charity. They use donated and throw-out food to make FREE community meals each and every week. They're a lifeline for many and a community for more.

We were out spreading the word for their weekly meal in Camden. A huge pile of leaflets awaited us. And with them in hand...

...off we went!

One group stayed local and targeted estates around Somers Town, and one group went a little further and targeted roads in the southern tip of Kentish Town :)

By the end we had delivered over 700 flyers and enjoyed some lovely connection and conversation!

Thank you, everyone! Here's to next time!
