Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)
It was truly a case of a having a ball - or more like several hundred of them - at GoodGym Westminster last night!
We met at our usual spot in Hyde Park to run to a new task - St Vincent's family project. This organisation provides a community for families, with children under the age of five, to feel supported. Families can use the space to play, relax, have fun, connect with others, and learn new skills. Families using the programmes and support services to become more resilient, less isolated and cope with financial and emotional pressures.
Our job changed last minute, so instead of painting in the bathroom, we were shown by Andy to the arguably much more exciting play area.
Our job for the evening was to give the climbing frame and ball pit a big clean down - including each and every one of the small colourful plastic balls. So we grabbed cloths, moved the army of soft toys out the way, and got cracking.
We found all sorts of interesting things as we worked, including castanets, a mini accordian and a giant gorilla. Before long it was time to get the mats back into their original position, throw the clean balls back in, and call it a job well done.
We'll be back again soon for more fun tasks at St Vincent's. Sign up here for next week's GG Westminster session - hope to see you there!
