Braving the chilly weather, the team enthusiastically streamlined the post-distribution cleanup at the Fridge today. We efficiently recycled, cleared crates, and scrubbed containers spotless. As extra helpers the GoodGym volunteers were brilliant especially as they know the drill and what needs doing. Well done team!

The Friends of Morden Rec had received funding from the Community Fund for 1,000 spring bulbs, with the aim of getting 100 people involved in planting them, so GoodGym was only too happy to be involved. With the help of local residents, their children and some willing dogs we managed to plant 1,100 daffodil, crocus, tulip and allium bulbs in less than the time allotted. Hopefully come spring we'll be able to return and enjoy the beautiful blooms. Some of us were also inspired to go and buy bulbs to plant in our own gardens! 🌷

Those who joined us at our last visit to Critical Support will remember the organised chaos of a multi-bank delivery, and this time was no different! We threw ourselves into sorting through the wall of crates, making sure everything was collated and ready for distribution. It's always fun to sift through random items and definitely one of our favourite tasks.

We also started on the wrapping of Christmas presents! Working diligently to prepare as many gifts as possible, although we will be back next month to do more of this.

A huge congratulations to Becca who completed her first session! We hope this is the first of many more missions with us.

5 of the team took part in Morden Parkrun this morning wearing their Goodgym t.shirts with pride to mark 1 year of Goodgym in Merton. Well done team and congratulations to Alex on your first parkrun.
