Nine wonderful GoodGym folk make a difference in Camden Town!!
Tucked within Camden Town's bustle is an estate with a very special communal courtyard ๐ and this lovely group gifted 60 minutes to make this green space much healthier and nicer!
Emilie, Jackie, John, Steve, and I started out in Somers Town and we took a social conversation-filled run up and over to Camden ๐ where we met Christy (on their first good deed โ a huge welcome!), Imogen, Michael, and Vic who had all made their own journeys by bike and foot :)
Welcomed by Dan, Vic, and other residents, this special team split into a bundle of good-deeding efficiency:
โค๏ธ We targeted the raised decking ๐ pulling weeds, grabbing fallen leaves, and sweeping everything into a pristine shine!
โค๏ธ We scraped the weed-filled gaps between the paving slabs ๐ leaving the courtyard a shining advert for block paving!
โค๏ธ We shaped the larger bushes ๐ cutting back the dead wood, gifting freedom to the buds yet to come!
And over everything else, last night felt like a community coming together ๐ our lovely group and four local residents ๐ it was a special hour :)
Here's to next time!
