Last night, despite a scorching 31°C at 7 pm, GoodGym Brent volunteers showed incredible dedication at Oakington Manor Primary School's Forest School. Tabitha and Chris, expertly guided by Usma, embarked on a mission to enhance the outdoor learning space for the children. Our primary tasks involved the monumental effort of relocating several large tree trunks, painstakingly transforming them into a brand new, natural seating area perfect for outdoor lessons and storytelling.

In addition to this heavy lifting, we tackled two enormous tyres, strategically moving them beneath a tree to create an exciting new climbing feature for the kids. The team also diligently worked to cut back significant areas of overgrown vegetation, making the forest school more accessible and safer for everyone. Though Pete was sadly missed due to train woes, the fantastic efforts of Tabitha and Chris ensured a brilliant impact, truly making a difference to this vital community asset for local children. Tabitha even had a go on the rope swing and bravely tried her hand at slacklining – quite a scary experience, but great fun!

we expertly cleaned the chairs and it was such a warm day that the hot air dried them off in no time

At the end of the Hottest Sale of the year , Goodgym Brent arrived at Traid in Kilburn. We packed up the unsold clothes in record time , the very definition of fast fashion. There was no time for hanging around as we packed up hangers . We gave a very warm welcome to Danielle for her first ever goodgym session .

Beatriz was very hot , and only had one fully functional arm, but still tidied more than her fair share of clothes and hangers.

Many hands made light work so we wrapped up within the hour and had a cool drink in a beer garden nearby.

Great work ! We will be back in three months to do it all again !
