We headed out in dry, crisp conditions to help Tom from Lambeth Parks finish what we started at St Matthew's Peace Garden. Peace, quiet and a LOT of weeds. 🌱

The task was simple: edging, scraping and bagging up the grass and weeds from the paving. This time we had ALL the tools, including half moon edgers, shovels and brooms, while Adam turned up tooled up with hand edging tools. 🛠️ Absolute edge lord. 🥳

Ben, Katie, Tilly, Jo, Adam, Rich and Nicole (who may or may not have joined the task on her broom and made it a full bouquet of volunteers 💐) really did dig deep, and we left the paving looking so sharp it could cut. Nothing was left to chance, or to moss. 😱

A lovely evening for a run, with fun friends to share it with. Tilly brought baked goods to console our AA, who lost his namesake in Bake Off. Incredible as ever, Tilly, you absolute whisk-taker. 🧁 Another great task well done! 🧰❤️

It was also the end of month social, and we put our pub quiz winnings (a voucher, no less) to good use with a karaoke night. 🎤 RJ made his debut in his shiny new GG shirt, looking fresh off the press and ready to belt out a few tunes. 👕✨ What happens at karaoke stays at karaoke… 😉 but wonderful scenes were had. 🤩🍾

Until next time, GoodGym Lambeth: thyme to go and lawn-ch ourselves into the next task! 💪🏼

We headed out in a light drizzle with our friends from Holy Trinity, and it turned into one of our longer runs as darkness fell. 🌆 Nobody was dampened (spirits, that is). 💦

Tonight was prep for our screening of the People's Emergency Briefing in a few weeks' time. We pounded the pavements and flyered the neighbourhood to get locals excited and signed up. Honestly, we really did leaflet it all out there! 🥳📄

Tonight's flyers-in-chief: Ben, Tilly, Jo, RJ, Fi, Adam and Nicole 🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️💪🏼

A lovely evening for a run, fun friends to share it with, and Tilly's baking (incredible as ever 🍰) gave us a post-run treat to cake home... Another great task well done! 🧰❤️

See you at the next one (it's the social btw!). Bring a brolly... or just embrace the drizzle! ☔

We headed out on what might have been the last evening of the Indian summer to Holy Trinity, one of our longer runs as darkness fell. 🌅🏃‍♀️

Our crew of Yianny, Ben, Michael, Katie, Jo, Fi, Adam, George and Nicole were thyme-ly arrivals (herb puns, anyone? 🌿). On arrival we met the walking and hill running crew (nice one, Fi 👏⛰️) and got cracking, helping Nicole, Adam and Naome with lopping, chopping and edging the paving areas. We really branched out with this one! 🪓

We had our head torches out for the first time in yonks 🔦, and the effect of filling 10 green bags will become clear in the morning! 🥳 Hopefully nobody leafs without noticing the difference. 🍃

Join us in a couple of weeks for some flyering for the People's Emergency Briefing at Holy Trinity in Nov! 😱📣

A lovely evening for it, fun friends to share with and another great task well done! 🧰❤️ You could say we really nailed the hedge-ucation. 😎

We were due to help our friends at GROAD get their new venue ready at GreenWorks 🛠️. But Andrea got held up at their storage facility, so all we could manage was a spot of weeding outside. 🌿😅

But as GGers, when life gives you lemons 🍋... we head to the pub(for grown up lemonade)! The group finished early and made it to the social double quick, where Ben (despite his jet lag ✈️😴) had organised a quiz for us. It was a quizzical turn of events, but a wonderfully fun one!

GG Lambeth showed its competitive side (well, some of us did 👀), and our two teams took 1st 🥇 and 3rd 🥉 on the podium!! 🥳 Clearly we're as sharp with our brains as we are with our trowels 🧠

Join us next month at the social, when we'll be spending our winnings 💰 and making full use of the karaoke facilities 😱🎤🎙️ You have been warned!

A lovely evening, fun friends to share it with and another great task well done(ish)! 🧰❤️

Who was there: RJ 🌟, Amona 🌟, Yianny, Katie, Lucy, Tilly, Jo, Fi, Adam and Rich 💪🏼

🌟 = welcome to your first GoodGym session RJ & Amona we were delighted to have you with us, you rooted for us and it bloomed into a great night! 🌸🥰

Another cracking Lambeth GoodGym outing in the books! 🎉

We rolled back up to help Tom and the Lambeth Parks crew tackle the edging and clearing at St Matthew's Peace Garden 🪏 — and honestly, if you haven't seen this place, get down there, it's an absolute stunner.

Yianny, Michael, Jo, Adam and Nicole got stuck in and we filled that two-tonne bag right to the brim(ish)... and STILL had work spare. So, in the immortal words of a certain Austrian action hero: "We'll be back." 🦾

Huge congrats to Nicole for smashing her 10th good deed! 🔟🎊 Double digits and still going strong — the good deeds just keep on coming.

Massive welcome back to Tilly, freshly returned from her wedding! 🥰💍 We even had the pleasure of meeting the new hubby, and she rocked up with home-baked treats to celebrate — and officially kick off the Lambeth Bake Off sweepstakes 🍰🏆 (early odds are already fierce).

A gorgeous evening, great company, and another job well done. Another one bites the... weed. 🧰❤️

Three legends rocked up for a proper garden glow-up at Wyck Gardens tonight — Yianny, Fi and Rich in the house! 🏃‍♂️💪🏼

The squad swung by LJ Works first to grab the water and hay barrows (essential kit for a hay-mazing evening 🌾), then set to work giving the young trees a well-deserved drink and tucking them in with a fresh blanket of compost and hay. Talk about tree-mendous care! 🌱🧰

Next up: log-istics. 🪵 The crew wheeled some seriously major logs back to LJ Works, laying the groundwork (quite literally) for the pond build that's coming soon — some lucky frogs are going to be very pleased 🐸🎉

A gorgeous evening, great company, and another job well toad! Big love to Fi and Rich for getting stuck in 🍾❤️

Same time next week? Water we thinking! 💦😄
