Wednesday 13th August
Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
In mid-August heat 10 wonderful GoodGymers caught a lovely evening in Kentish Town!
Cressfield Close is an unassuming cul-de-sac — houses and quiet — and yet hiding special community spaces!
There's the city farm — with goats and guinea pigs and sheep and more — and there's also the sheltered housing, which was our home for the evening :)
This lovely group — Alex, Alison, Claire (on their first Camden good deed – great to meet you!), Danny, Jackie, Jessica (on their first good deed — welcome!), John, Lydia, and Steve — were welcomed by residents Marie and Michael, and we got quickly to our evening work.
The communal garden is a bountiful space (fruits, vegetables, and flowers aplenty) and we were tasked with targeting the thistles and weeds that have sprung over the summer.
Armed with trowels and forks, this group donned gloves and made light work of everything — and all while connecting and sharing stories :)
Thank you, everyone! See you soon!!
