Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Stephen Corry
Wowers for such an amazing morning!! First up, was the amazing community mission - Take over of South Norwood Parkrun - led by Run leader Conroy (Goodgym Croydon) which brought the joining forces of Lewisham, Bromley, Southwark and Croydon together. With running, volunteering and everything being processed and put away it was time to venture to Lewisham for the second action packed extravaganza community mission of the day.
Sensory Overload!
With a few having to travel a little further, we were greeted by overjoyed cheers and spades. It was digging time and to work all 12 members got, removing the sodden soil into wheelbarrows and finally to a skip located opposite of the school (Squats, standing Russian twists and inclined barrow pushing were some of few "moves" involved)
After many barrow full shifted, a tea break was called and with it brought, Nykolette and Olivia (fresh from her first mission!!) straight from a mission, allowing for turn taking with barrow loads.
Once we had uncovered and shifted many barrow fulls into the skip, it was time to pack up and wipe off the many miles of muck from our shoes.
Great work everyone, All this hard work is paying off and the garden is looking truly amazing!! Hope to see everyone on Monday for our return to Sensory Garden for more barrow fulls (of laughs).
