The weekend's community mission was partnered with The Great Get Together - an initiative founded by the family and friends of Jo Cox who was killed on 16 June 2016. It was created to reject divisive politics and bring our communities together and celebrate all that unites us. #moreincommon

On a hot Saturday some awesome Goodgymmers helped out at the annual Hilly Fields Midsummer Fayre. It is one of Brockley's biggest community events and is in it's 45th year! It is a fayre run entirely by volunteers and the attendance is regularly over 5,000!

There were many jobs to be done on the day and there was a steady stream of GoodGym help throughout the day; from setting up at 7am until the event closed in the evening.

• Paul, Jamila, Mahala, Olivia and Jacqueline got to work in the morning setting up flags, fencing the animal area and putting up signage. Paul was able to rush off to do the Parkrun in between his good deed too.

• Girija helped to set up the petting zoo as well as the tables and chairs in the marquee. Great stuff!

• Caireen and Olivia took to car-parking duty and were on hand as stewards keeping vehicles within their lines!

• Vic set about the task of selling raffle tickets, with a wide selection of 32 donated prizes to be won! (Including cases of wine and weekend getaways).

• Later during the day Sally and Dharmesh (on their 2nd Good Deed of the day - 1st being in Tower Hamlets) joined Vic in selling more raffle tickets.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable day for everybody at the fayre!

Here's a video tweet from the day:
