The good deeds are PILING up

Lambeth Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)

33 marvellous GoodGymers hit the pavements last night to run to Jubilee Primary School for a mystery task...

WOODEN you like to know!?

First we welcomed first timers Jen, Emma and Oscar to the gang and had a speedy warm up.

Steve lead a 4k route and the rest of us took the direct route to Jubilee where we were greeted by Juan. He had a big pile of wooden sticks/rods/planks hidden under a staircase which we awkwardly removed and took round to a shed - the kind of job we do so well!

So well that unfortunately by the time the splinter group had arrived, pretty much all the wood had been moved.

All that was left to do then was a serious HIIT sesh in the school hall. It was a hot one and everyone smashed it.

We then headed back for a well needed stretch.

Top work everyone!

Wooden it be nice...

...if you came along next week for some furniture removal at Brixton Road Youth Centre? You can sign up here.

Weed don't need no vegetation

Lambeth Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)

Lambeth brought it's A-game tonight with not one but TWO tasks completed.

We first up congratulated looooads people on fantastic Januarys, smashing the GG milestones. Massive shoutout to Nicky for picking this run as her two hundredth good deed.

And topping the GG Lambeth heroes wall for January and rightfully receiving this month's SPOTM, the untouchable Francis Collier-Wright. Some A-grade hand cream, biscuits, sports bar and even a champions plaque, which I'm sure will go atop her mantlepiece.

We also welcomed some new runners to the gang. Tom, Jamie and Martin, you are so welcome!

We then had a super quick warm up, split into two groups and got going.


Nicky lead most of the group, truly earning that 200th deed. Here's what she had to say:

A brilliant team of GoodGymmers headed up the hill to a brand new task at the Yellow Qube. We met Mel and had a brief interlude in the warmth whilst she told us about this brilliant community space and what they needed us to do tonight. Our task was to clear up the space below the walkway. Our first hurdle was a literal one - jumping the fence. Everyone managed this with aplomb and displayed a variety of styles/techniques and different degrees of gracefulness. Once over the fence, we got to work clearing up rubbish and pesky ivy. Mel was very happy and after a quick group snap, we headed back down the hill for some stretching at base camp (aka Papa's).

POW

The rest of us hung around at Papa's to do a bunch of jobs around the cafe. First up, we needed some warming up. Obviously a game of tag was just what the doctor ordered. Then we got cracking:

🎨Painting a wall white, to brighten it up, after spending about 10 minutes trying to open up the paint...

🔩Removing the weird notice boards - hunting down the screws and trying not to pull down the fence...

🌱Pulling up the weeds/knowing which ones are the weeds...

We threw in a few some chilled circuits to warm up halfway through and were even treated to hot chocolate and marshmellows from Valcie from PAPA's cafe.

YUM 👅

Nice one everyone! Next week we're back at Jubilee Primary School - sign up here!

Getting our GROVE on

Lambeth Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)

What a lovely bunch for a Sunday morning session at the fantastic Grove Adventure Playground.

After arriving and welcoming totally fresh runners Ashleigh, Domhnall, Sam, Catherine and Anna to the fold, we got straight to task with Nick showing us our jobs with a lovely whiteboard-ful of instructions.

Forgive me if I get this wrong (lots of new names...);

Phil, Samuel, Abi, Ashleigh and Hannah were on woodchip duty, moving a massive pile and raking it for a soft landing!

Becca and Latoya were cleaning the kitchen shelves

Pippa, Rosanna and Cat were brushing the wood to seal it.

Paul, Anna, Stefan, Domhnall and Sam were moving loads of logs into a new wood pile

While Jenny and Katie were sweeping and mopping the hall floor.

PHEW

Everyone mucked in to a banging soundtrack provided by Nick and we were done in no time.

After grabbing some bags of apples(!), we sauntered round to a nearby park for some fitness focussed drills. First up a quick FAB (forward, arms, balloon) jog and then a draining game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

DO GOOD, GET FIT. ☄️

Nice one gang. Here are the links to our next couple of runs:
