Six GoodGymers braved the damp and cold to make a difference this Wednesday!

This wonderful group — of Charlie, Jackie, John, Kathleen, Steve, and Alex — turned up at Cecil Sharp House for our first visit of 2026!

There has been a bunch of building work at the house and our task was to clean things up — cue...

❤️ Jackie's wonderful leaf collecting and litter picking, turning the lawn and surrounding areas immaculate :)

❤️ One marvellous human chain making light (and swift) work shifting a true mountain of bags!

❤️ Gritty effort sweeping and raking and collecting all manner of building rubbish, leaves, and weeds!

Thank you so much, everyone!

12 GoodGymers from ALL OVER London caught some Camden good deeding last night!

Our group last night — super friendly and willing to help as always — hailed from the West and the East and the Middle of London!

It was a multi-borough affair and we were all there to do our usual good deeding at the American International Church for their Winter Shelter :)

Ana, Ariane, Jack, Jackie, Jacqui, John, Kash, Lucinda, Lydia, Steph, and Steve did the GoodGym usual and got completely stuck into all the helping:

❤️ 16 beds were assembled, dressed, and positioned ready for the evening's guests!

❤️ 1 dining room was set with tables and cutlery and napkins and sauces, and the bubbling scents from the kitchen made us want to stay!

❤️ Multiple boxes were lifted and shifted and moved to where they need to be!

And we left having had connection and laughter, and it all made yesterday's January evening feel a lot brighter!

See you next time!!

P.S. Thank you, Jacqui and Steph, for the wonderful photos!!

11 GoodGymers brought community (and muscle!) to this special North London green space!

Nestled between houses and flats in Holly Lodge Estate is a blossoming green space for the community.

Nurtured and designed by Growing Green (a wonderful charity) this vacant space is steadily becoming an actively loved space for everyone.

And we were there to lend a very helpful hand yesterday morning!

Our group of...

💚 Goodgym new starters Joanna, Krista, Mariama, and Philippa — a big welcome! 💚 GoodGymers from Tower Hamlets, Hammersmith, and beyond — Emma, Fiona, Ilana, James, and Kareem — it was great to see you! 💚 Camden GG regular Danny — it was fab seeing you!!

... made a HUGE difference in 90 busy minutes!

There was digging and weeding and planting and shifting materials and boxes and cutting trees and pruning branches, and our task host (Claudia) was truly AMAZED at how much you all did :)

Thank you so much for your work and energy, everyone! See you soon!

A wonderful 13 GoodGymers caught some social connection AND made a real difference in Camden!

While most Londoners hurried for the dry and the inside some Londoners (many dressed in red t shirts) were catching a different kind of Wednesday evening...

...and it started in Somers Town where Elisa (on their first good deed — welcome!), Jacob, Ivo, and Steve struck up a run and a conversation through evening bustle towards the American International Church...

...where they were met by not a few but many many many friendly faces 👉 including Ana, Ellen, and Fanny (all on their first good deeds — welcome!), and Alison, Caitlin, Ilana, Lydia, and Sarah!

We were on Tottenham Court Road to get everything ready for the AIC's weekly winter shelter 👉 cue shifting boxes, moving camp beds, finding duvets and sheets and covers, building tables, finding matching knives and forks, arranging toiletries, and more!

Thank you so much, everyone! Last night felt really joyful!

See you soon!
