It was back to Larkhall park tonight to continue to tackle the petanque court. It has sadly become overgrown and so it was us vs the weeds (and the ants it turned out!). A beautiful timelapse created by Jason shows just how hard the team worked to clear it out and help to get this space back in shape.

We did test our world cup knowledge before we went and ended up with some freestyle fitness. Good work Wandsworth!

Last night's task was a firm favourite as we returned to find Doddington community garden in full bloom and looking glorious. It's always rewarding to see how much the space changes through the seasons, and even more satisfying to know that the work we've put in over many visits has played a small part in helping it flourish.

It was also fantastic to welcome two new faces to GoodGym Wandsworth. A big hello to Katia and Adam – brilliant to have you along and we hope you enjoyed your first task with us!

Before setting off, it was time for our warm up and our controversial question of the week - which country invented the French fry? Adam and Veronica came up with the correct answer of Belgium, and we headed off towards the garden, where a few GGers were already there and well stuck into the raspberry canes.

Once everyone had arrived, we split into teams and tackled a whole range of jobs. There was soil to be transported up the stairs, which turned out to be quite the workout. Another group set about digging over a badly trampled flower bed (apparently the work of a visiting corporate group – we'll say no more!). Elsewhere, we were busy raking up swathes of yellow grass, composting, pruning and generally doing helpful tasks. We even put some found rubble to good use, stabilising a wonky orange planter and giving it a new lease of life. There was certainly no shortage of jobs to keep us occupied.

With the gardening complete and the tools packed away, we headed down to the square for our fitness session which quickly revealed itself to be a rather intense lower-body blast. Three levels of effort, 45 seconds at a time, and plenty of squats, lunges and pulses later, there were some well worked muscles all round.

After that it was time to choose your own adventure: back home for stretches or onwards to the pub quiz. At the time of writing, no reports of victory have come through on the wires, so the question remains: did GoodGym Wandsworth claim the pub quiz crown? We await news...

Next week we're heading to one of Battersea's most beautiful and oldest churches for another evening of doing good. We'd love to have you join us!

GoodGym Wandsworth returned to the petanque court at Lark Hall Gardens this morning to tackle the overgrown bushes and weeds. Armed with spades and secateurs Joanna and Veronica hacked away at nettles and ivy and successfully cleared a large patch around the edge of the court. It was a satisfying task and easy to see the progress made - a group task is booked in to finish clearing weeds (Mon 8th June) but you can already see what a great space it's going to be for the local community! After an hour and with two big tonne bags full of leaves and brambles, it was time to pack up and hit the local cafe for well earned iced matchas and coffee.

Last night three GGers gathered to tackle a big task at St Andrew's Youth Club. This place is so much more than a youth club; it’s a safe haven where young people can connect, learn, and grow. It empowers youth from diverse backgrounds to learn life skills, build friendships and so much more.

Our mission was to empty and restock a sizeable cupboard that will soon transform into a changing area for the upcoming BBC's Children in Need. The centre will feature, with several celebs coming to film its various activities.

We sorted through an array of resources, including hulhoops, boxing gear and the iconic Operation game, lifted heavy tables, and got rid of unwanted items. Together, we transformed chaos into order, creating a beautifully organized space. Hopefully our work will help raise significant funds to continue the vital work they do. And we might even see our hard work on TV!

Next week, we’re off to a new community garden within a central London estate. We'll be planting up a green space that will blossom into something beautiful for the community. Sign up here to add purpose to your workout!
