A wonderful way to start 2025 was meeting our awesome Lambeth GGers and heading out for the first group session of the year.

It was a triple celebration session and so with the blessing of the group I will keep the run report mercifully brief and cut the waffle so here we go:

• Lambeth GGers are amazing and came out in good numbers in the freezing cold
• We ran to Clapham to rescue Xmas trees not collected by the council and taking up pavement space
• We dragged, carried and dropped them at the Clapham Common collection site
• A fantastic 35 trees were collected to be composted and reused by Lambeth Council

Quote of the evening from Daniel on his 2nd ever session "There is only upside to this GoodGym thing!"

We ended the eve with some sweet treats as well.

Much love to everyone, on with the January Challenge and I look forward to seeing you next time!

And so GG Lambeth rounded out the 2024 Group Runs with a session to help out our favourite organisation.

Let's start at the beginning, we were delighted to have Dan join us for his first session, welcome Dan great to have you with us!

With a few of the group not being able to make it that left Katie and Yianny to round out the numbers and the weather decided to be less dry and more wet than previously expected. As a result AA changed the task on the fly from the planned litter pick bingo to leafletting for GoodGym :0)

A big thank you to Katie for bringing her reverse Advent Calendar donations which will be given to Lambeth foodbanks.

We set off on our 4km loop via Clapham North with time to regale Dan with GG stories and how things work (also where the best bars are on Landor Road!) Once we were back at base we grabbed handfuls if GG flyers and headed to a new block of streets and houses to drum up support for volunteers in 2025.

And so that was that, last session done, only slightly soggy and a nice session to boot.

Just time for me to say a last big thank you to all the GGers who have done so much good work this year, it has been an absolute pleasure to spend time with you! 2024 - out.
