15 Goodgymers ran between 5-6km to help North London Cares and Cecil Sharp House!

Welcome along to Lydia whose first time it was last night - great to have you along.

The main news this week is that it's the GG Christmas Party next Saturday down near Burgess Park - full details here.

North London Cares Report:

A team of five; Frances, Chris, Beth, John and Kat took to the streets of Somers Town and St Pancras to leaflet for the wonderful North London Cares. This amazing organisation helps people over 65 with care, support, winter materials and social clubs.

The group leafleted about the Winter Wellbeing Programme, delivering over 200 to let lots of people about the amazing support on offer. After finishing their deliveries the guys enjoyed a run around the canal and Granary Square.

Double Tasking, Double Good

Cecil Sharp House Report:

Ten of us headed the 1.7km to help a Camden favourite, Cecil Sharp House - this home of English Folk Music is a fantastic organisation that does educational programmes and activities for the local community.

Splitting into teams we armed ourselves with brooms, grabbers and bags. The task as ever was to collect up all the leaves we could in 30 minutes! Hanry focused on raking the lawn, and everyone else methodically made piles and collected them up.

Susannah was incredibly pleased by our work in clearing the back garden, front entrance and the side lane. Overall we collected up 20 bags of leaves - wow!

We finished up with a group picture and a longer run home.

Sign up for next week here - tasks tbc.
