Kentish Town + Mid-August Good-Deeding!!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

In mid-August heat 10 wonderful GoodGymers caught a lovely evening in Kentish Town!

Cressfield Close is an unassuming cul-de-sac — houses and quiet — and yet hiding special community spaces!

There's the city farm — with goats and guinea pigs and sheep and more — and there's also the sheltered housing, which was our home for the evening :)

This lovely group — Alex, Alison, Claire (on their first Camden good deed – great to meet you!), Danny, Jackie, Jessica (on their first good deed — welcome!), John, Lydia, and Steve — were welcomed by residents Marie and Michael, and we got quickly to our evening work.

The communal garden is a bountiful space (fruits, vegetables, and flowers aplenty) and we were tasked with targeting the thistles and weeds that have sprung over the summer.

Armed with trowels and forks, this group donned gloves and made light work of everything — and all while connecting and sharing stories :)

Thank you, everyone! See you soon!!

Camden Town + Community Coming Together!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

Nine wonderful GoodGym folk make a difference in Camden Town!!

Tucked within Camden Town's bustle is an estate with a very special communal courtyard 👉 and this lovely group gifted 60 minutes to make this green space much healthier and nicer!

Emilie, Jackie, John, Steve, and I started out in Somers Town and we took a social conversation-filled run up and over to Camden 👉 where we met Christy (on their first good deed – a huge welcome!), Imogen, Michael, and Vic who had all made their own journeys by bike and foot :)

Welcomed by Dan, Vic, and other residents, this special team split into a bundle of good-deeding efficiency:

âĪïļ We targeted the raised decking 👉 pulling weeds, grabbing fallen leaves, and sweeping everything into a pristine shine!

âĪïļ We scraped the weed-filled gaps between the paving slabs 👉 leaving the courtyard a shining advert for block paving!

âĪïļ We shaped the larger bushes 👉 cutting back the dead wood, gifting freedom to the buds yet to come!

And over everything else, last night felt like a community coming together 👉 our lovely group and four local residents 👉 it was a special hour :)

Here's to next time!

A Special Listening Space in Kentish Town :)

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

There's a special space tucked inside a medical surgery in Kentish Town.

The Listening Space Garden is a home for sanctuary in Camden's bustle, and our group often visit to help keep the space lovely for the patients who use it often.

And that was us – Nivia, Steve, and I – last night :)

We caught up with the wonderful Jo, before spending a steady hour cutting and scraping the weeds from the cracks between the paving stones :)

We'll be back soon to do a little more – and thank you, both, for a wonderfully relaxing and healing evening!

American International Church + London's Most Efficient Human Chain!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

7 wonderful GoodGym folk made light work of a balcony clear-out!

Tottenham Court Road hummed its usual bustle as our group – of Helen, Jackie, Lydia, Siobhan, and Steve – climbed through the American International Church's magnificent doors.

We were there to meet the AIC's brilliant community engagement aficionado – and fellow GoodGymer – Brooke, who had a perfectly-shaped task for GoodGym!

The balcony is suspended above the church hall and it's filled with the usual – pews, books, community notices – as well as the less usual – an eclectic assortment of chairs, random poles, fun-looking toys, and more!

We were there to move the excess items down the three flights to the basement, across the church's underbelly, and out to the side entrance ready for collection and recycling!

Cue this team kicking into the most efficient (and happy) human chain I've ever witnessed – they picked, carried, passed, and repeated – onlookers marveled, removal companies trembled, and the loot was moved and tidily organised in 45 swift minutes!

Thank you so much, everyone! Here's to next time!
