Six GoodGymers descended on Critical Support after hours for our latest group mission. Some cycled down the River Wandle and others walked and it was a lovely evening for it too.

While The Felix Project's multi-bank delivery wasn't quite as large as anticipated, we quickly adapted our plans! We got stuck into a fantastic variety of tasks: meticulously moving a large batch of fruit bowls and toothpaste, expertly flattening a mountain of cardboard boxes, and giving the shelves and floor a thorough, sparkling clean. It was the perfect opportunity to flex our muscles and keep busy, leaving the hub immaculate.

Tonight, the team took on a deep-cleaning mission at Merton's Community Fridge! While the physical job of removing the partition wall didn't quite make the cut due to issues with fixings, this was probably a blessing.

After being briefed by Anelisa on what to doo, we cracked through as much as possible in the time available. Fridges were shifted, heavy crates and boxes were moved, and every single nook and cranny was cleared and cleaned. With 6 Goodgymmers in such a small space it was a pretty hot work out and the challenge was getting it all back in the right place afterwards. But thanks to the commitment to getting the job done we completed the task and even had time to enjoy a drink (of water) in return for our efforts. Well done team!

Five of the team joined a fantastic session at Mitcham Orchard today, getting stuck into a variety of tasks!

We tackled two main jobs: Matthieu and Martina (welcome and well done on your first task) skillfully worked on covering the greenhouse, ensuring it's ready for whatever the weather brings. Meanwhile, Jade and Rhian teamed up with Clare to get some serious planting done, getting pumpkin and squash plants into the ground. They also did a great job clearing fallen plums, setting them aside for pickling!

A debit visit for three of the team and a little bonus job - cherry picking. Yum! Great work by everyone involved, making a real difference in this beautiful orchard.

A lovely time being rushed off feet serving to 30 people a wonderful 3 course meal of Pomme Boulangere, mushroom and leek risotto and a clementine cake, all from surplus ingredients that would have gone to waste.
