It's always fun helping out at Deen City Farm as we get to visit the animals and support the team with practical jobs. This afternoon Goodgym members from Merton, Wandsworth, Croydon and Ealing stopped by to help decorate for the Barn Dance.

It was great to see some new faces and chat a little as we got busy with bunting, gazebo building, and plenty of creative touches to make the venue look yeeee-ha!

Congratulations to Steve on your first Goodgym task and we hope to see everyone again very soon.

The team welcomed 23 lovely guests this week and treated them to a feast of caramelised onion and goat’s cheese sourdough pizza, pasta alla puttanesca, and a chocolate cake crowned with vanilla frosting and a sprinkle of freeze-dried strawberries. 🍓🍰 The surplus supplies weren’t quite overflowing this time, but the team rose to the challenge and made every ingredient count. The new volunteers jumped straight in and were absolute stars — you’d never guess it was their first time!

Afyer a healthy delivery of supplies, our kitchen team made caramelised onion and goats cheese flatbread, Stir fry veg noodles, passionfruit and strawberry cheesecake. 26 guests were served and had great feedback on the meal! Shout out to our first time volunteers who did an amazing job cooking and hosting.
