On 4 August, seven GoodGymers came together for a one-hour mission at Hestia Good Energy Club, a mental health service supporting the Kingston community. Although it was only an hour-long session, we had a huge area to tackle, around a third of the size of a football pitch! Claire led the run to Hestia, while the rest of the team made their way directly to the task. On arrival, we received a warm welcome from John at Hestia, who had thoughtfully provided Diet Coke, biscuits and crisps to keep everyone refreshed before we got started. After a quick break, it was time to get down to business. Armed with all-purpose spray as our "weapon" and cleaning wipes as our "shield", everyone quickly found their role. Marie and Laura took charge of the vacuum cleaners, working their way across the extensive floors, while Luke, Claire, John, Tom and Sabir tackled tables, chairs, window sills and every surface that needed a deep clean. With music playing in the background, the atmosphere was relaxed and upbeat, making the hard work fly by. It was brilliant to see the teamwork in action, with everyone coordinating seamlessly and helping wherever needed. Before long, the entire service had been transformed, with every corner left sparkling clean, all within the hour. John from Hestia thanked the team for all their hard work and told us how much the clean would benefit the members who use the service. We rounded off the evening with a group photo in front of a fantastic 3D beach mural created by the Good Energy Club members. A perfect backdrop to celebrate another successful community task. A fantastic one-hour session, great teamwork and another local community space left cleaner, brighter and ready to welcome the people who rely on it.
