15 runners ran 5k to clear the basement at Hoxton Hall

15 runners came to blast away their Monday blues by running to do good in Tower Hamlets last night. On this particular cold and wintery night we were headed to a brand new and indoor task (double hooray!).

Hoxton Hall is a community centre and performing arts space that is deeply embedded in local history having been an East End landmark since 1863. We were there to help them prepare their new youth development programme. Working with local young people has been at the core of what Hoxton Hall does for over 150 years - offering unique creative learning and employment opportunities.

We split into three groups - clearing rubbish from the main basement room, sorting old costumes to go to charity and collate paint supplies. Boris and James were delighted with how much we got done in 25 minutes and set three people to work trying to remove a very stubborn fixture from the ceiling. Happily we'll be back at Hoxton Hall next week for stage 2 - putting together ikea bureaus for musical equipment. With some time to spare, Laura didn't waste a minute and introduced the group to some core work that those dealing with the ceiling fixture missed out on - don't worry, she'll get you next time!

A big cheer for Claire who joined us for her first ever group run and especially loud noises for Laura GoodGym Tower Hamlet's new trainer!

An awesome, brand new task success for Tower Hamlets last night. I'm sad to be leaving you but I'm off to be trainer in Southwark on a Wednesday, come by and say hello :)

Keep running happy, Lucy
