Tom Bigglestone completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.
Tom has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

After a week in the snow, I was happy to be back with my favourite group of people to tackle the litter that blows into The Albany garden on our last group run before the clocks change.
Welcome to Lindsay who was joining us for her first time - hope you enjoying your first of many good deeding with us!
We gathered outside Glass Mill and it was soon time to head up to The Albany, upon arrival there were thoughts that we had no task after no one answered the bell but then Nicole emerged happy to see us.
We split into litter pickers and bin bag holders and began to do a sweep of the garden. As usual we found some very interesting items, the more tame being a golf ball and a car bumper.
Half the group headed out to the front to tackle the surprisingly free of litter streets in front of the The Albany and the other group helped empty the bins and replace the bin bags.
Great work tonight everyone - next weeks task is still a mystery but we do have a social at Mamma Dough!

Amidst the current cost of living crisis we may find comfort in the fact that in London, you can still find a KitKat Chunky for 60p. The greatest of all confectionary evolutions, still at 2010 prices. And this is at the vending machine of the Glyndon Centre in Woolwich. But coins only - tragedy!
We began by convincing Jen not to make us warm up in the rain, but under the Crossrail overhang. In honour of the multi-genre, multi-Oscar winning Everything Everywhere, All At Once, we asked If you were a film genre, what would you be? Your affectionate author admitted to being a rom-com (Tom-com? Thought of that joke 24 hrs too late) as 1998 masterpiece You’ve Got Mail is my Mastermind specialist subject. Cue plenty of questions, all answered correctly, may I add. will not be defeated.
A big welcome to Bobby joining us tonight and hope we see you again! We warmed up, set off and passed a restaurant that Matt was dining at later which garnered differing reviews from within GoodGym faithful - we are yet to hear of his experience.
Upon arrival, we found that host Andy wasn’t expecting us and was probably about to tuck into his tea at home. We chatted whilst we waited, some of us browsing the 50 best room coms according to Vanity Fair. You’ve Got Mail was number 2, and the sickly saccharine atrocity that is Love Actually nowhere to be seen. That journalist knows their onions. Speaking of food, it is here we discovered the KitKat offer, and here where the puns can begin. A bit of quick thinking meant we found a bunch of cabinets Nestle-d in the corner of a room, and duly dismantled them and threw them out. Offered a cup of tea but we were very much sweet enough. The short task was a spoonful of sugar for some, I’m sure, but a pill needing sugaring for others, so we went for some hill sprints nearby. Sugar loaf Mountain it was not, but certainly a sweet spot between flat slope and steep climb. Four laps and that was enough to burn off any sugar rush. I should cocoa.
Back at base, it was a warm down, and farewell. Until next time…

Amazing report Tom! The Vanity fair rankings are spot on in the top 5 selection 😁

It's not often we have a group run and it absolutely pours it down but last night the heavens opened on us! We're a tough bunch when it comes to the weather and we bravely stepped out from the warmth of Glass Mill to head across the borough to do good.
Last night's task was to clear the remaining leaves that were scattered across the garden, clear any litter that we found and fill the raised beds with soil.
We saved the gardening team hours and hours of work that now means that they can start growing vegetables and not have to worry about the time and manpower it would take to fill the raised beds.
It was soon time to begin our cross borough run home and numbers dwindled as cold runners picked the shortest route home until it was just the 4 of us at Glass Mill.
Thanks to Simone for braving the cold and rain to allow us access to the space.
Next week we're heading to the Tiny Forest in Ladywell Fields to shift the woodchip.

A grey, cool and windy morning - most people would rather having a lying in, but not our energetic GoodGymers! Eight GoodGymers embraced the weather and gave good shots to keep the event going as we were short of volunteers. Marta did the course check, pre-event set up as well as helping Minh who was sorting out the tokens. I did the first timers welcome and I hope that those new comers would come back again as Charlton park is a great location and a friendly bunch. Alex and Rhiannon were the marshals - cheering us along the way, which was a great boost in our morale! Steve kept his fingers busy as the time keeper, as well as doing the voluntary co-ordinator’s role. Tom effortlessly did a speedy run and then resumed to the barcode scanning duty. Alice orchestrated the team as the run director - what a great team!
Without you, park run won’t be happening - if you are able, please join our volunteer rota as you can run as well as volunteering.
We celebrated Marta’s 50th park run milestone with another park runner who also marked the same milestone today.
