Luciana earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Luciana completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Luciana was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Amazing to be back with the Westminster Crew and at the iconic St Andrews youth Club!!
After our temperature checks and hand gel start we cracked on as a well drilled squad clearing out, labelling and sorting out the art cupboard. Then transforming the garage from an over run pile of stuff to an almost perfectly formed, clear storage area.
Lovely to see some new members along for the session and getting the run down from Adrian of St AndrewS rich history and amazing work with Westminster’s young people!
Hope you enjoyed the session and look forward to seeing you again very soon!!

23 GoodGymers ran 5k to St Andrews Youth Club to paint the performance theatre and clear out and organise the overflowing store cupboard.
Thank you all so much for coming along on the run!! Big shout out to all the first timers who made last night their maiden GG voyage!!
We got underway with a big shout out from the always energetic Chi who let us know about a great beginner obstacle course weekend coming up in Finsbury Park. Click here for all the information on how to get involved!!
We then danced out way South the the St James’s Park area with a lovely 2.5k run to St Andrews Youth Club. It felt very weird to be there with non of the bright, bold and bubbly kids enjoying their evenings activities as they were on School holidays. But it allowed us more space to get working!
We split into 2 groups the painters went upstairs to get cracking with bringing the theatre some brightness for the new term while the sorters had a mountain of a task emptying, clearing and organising an overflowing store room.
With the painters off to a cracking start, with rollers rolling and brushes brushing the main parts and the fine detail of the walls were expertly taken care of with speed, efficiency and precision!!
With the room sparkling we cleared up the the minor paint drops on the floor, washed up and headed off.
The sorters produced an epic organisational performance!! Removing everything from the store cupboard, cleaning it so it gleamed, sorted all the contents into like for like boxes then in perfect order up the stuff back so it was so easy to use and view. A monumental improvement in 40 minutes of action!!
All that was left was the run back, basking in the glory of a brilliantly completed task we chatted and run up to in famous Green Park Drag where we tested our fitness with a 2 minute, 400 metre up slope effort from the bottom to the top of the park!!
With the drag dominated lead by Rhys we finished off the Sexy Fish way back to base to complete a fun filled evening!!
Next week we will be helping Open Age to for fill the mission to get Westminster’s senior community more connected and active!! Sign up and see you there!!
