Share the love

Another Tuesday, another band of Lambeth legends proving that the only thing we love more than a good run is getting so mulch done for the community. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผโœจ

Our superstar squad rolled out from Papa's in fine form โ€” AA, Michael, Dan & Jo lacing up and hitting the tarmac on foot, while Fi, Katie, Nehal and Adam rolled deep on wheels and wellies (well, approximately). The vibes? Immaculate. The chat? Flowing faster than we were. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜‚

Our mission this evening took us to the wonderful Agnes Riley Gardens, where the brilliant Jo from Friends of Agnes Riley and Tom from Lambeth Parks had a job for us: spread woodchip along the hedges to give the freshly planted whips the best possible start to the new season. ๐ŸŒฑ Think of it as tucking the baby trees in for spring. Cosy! ๐Ÿค—

And did we chip in? Oh, we chipped in HARD. The team shovelled, narrowed and spread that woodchip with the kind of efficiency that would make a professional landscaper weep with pride โ€” job done in no time, leaving us the very important task of... standing around a pond staring at newts. ๐ŸฆŽโค๏ธ And honestly? Absolutely worth it. The pond was JUMPING (well, crawling, they're newts) with wildlife and we are not ashamed to say we were absolutely giddy about it.

๐ŸŒŸ SPECIAL SHOUTOUT ๐ŸŒŸ

A massive welcome to Nehal, who joined us for her very first Group Run tonight! Having already dipped her toes in with Community Missions alongside Katie, Nehal is clearly committed to the GoodGym life โ€” and we are SO here for it. Welcome to the madness, we love having newt members of the team. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฉ

Until next time, Lambeth โ€” keep running, keep giving, and for the love of all things good, keep spreading the chip. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

Agnes Riley Gardens
A green space for local residents to enjoy

The park is located next to a number of large social housing estates. Clapham Park Estate, just over the road, is being redeveloped and large numbers of people will be moving into the area. There are three primary schools in the immediate area, plus a new secondary school soon to be developed. We already have some very committed volunteers giving their time to gardening in the park and they have told us they would like some support to run weekly gardening sessions which can help people grow some of their own food. We also want to help children better understand where their food comes from.
