Thursday 30th July
Report written by Denzel Kessie
This day started out with me meeting the Hackney Quest team at there office. Once everyone was ready, we took a long walk through the streets and parks of Hackney towards Nightingale Estate. During that walk, I gave a little introduction into what GoodGym is along with some insight into our Movement for Change initiative. During that time, Bella filled me in a bit more about Hackney Quest and Hackney in general.
Once we arrived at Nightingale Estate, we had a nice talk with the organisers before splitting up into groups of three to handle different tasks. Ayesha and Cyanna tended to the flower beds whilst me and Bella got rid troublesome weeds. Once we all completed our respective tasks, we finished by watering all the flower beds and pots.
As we walked back to Hackney Quest, it was great to hear Ayesha's passion for volunteering in Hackney. The cherry on top was Cyanna saying she had friends that would love to get involved in the work GoodGym does. Despite the small numbers, this session felt very impactful.
