Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
For one last time as a Goodgym Area Activator, Simon met at the Arsenal Community Hub on Benwell Road to meet a huge group of keen runners, ready to help at Caledonian Park this evening. It was truly a joy to see familiar faces from years gone by (including awesome folks who attended Simon's first session 6.5 years ago at Mildmay Community Centre - I'll find the link!). Also thank you to Astra for attending your first Goodgym session- I heartly recommend attending more sessions soon- we have wonderful people in this community!
After a short (but necessary) warm up, we ran together up McKenzie Road and the Market Road slopes to the wonderful Caledonian Park Clocktower, to meet up with Miriam and Gail, our local task coordinators.
Our objective for the night (with our 26 volunteers on hand!!!), was to shovel piles of crushed rock fines into wheelbarrows, and then transport the loads over to the forest pathways on the West side of the park. This is a lovely wooded walk, that is often frequented by children, families and wheelchair users, and we want to keep this area as accessible as possible during the Springtime months.
We separated into multiple groups to cover the whole area. Team 1 shoveled the ground fines, Team 2 pushed the barrows across the park and Team 3 raked and flattened the ground around the amphitheatre (carefully avoiding the grassed surfaces and paved sections). We also had a 4th team on hand to transfer soil from builder's merchant bags, ready for Spring planting later this month.
This is a massive task, and our crew did an smashing job over the 45 minutes we had available. 26 hands, all working in tandem, really makes a huge difference. Well done!
As we closed up our evening, Area Activator Simon lead a running group back to the Emirates Stadium, while Emily and Louise lead a walking group to The Tollington Arms on Sobell Road- a great local pub that serves incredible Thai food. Together, we celebrated Area Activator Simon's final fixture as a leader, but not his final Goodgym adventure for sure!

On Monday evening, 8 keen Goodgymmers joined Eslam from the Sustainable Nutrition Academy for a night of path building on the Goldie Estate, Hornsey Rise. The team met at the wonderful Hornsey Rise Kickabout Playground site, and picked up wheelbarrows and shovels to unload freshly delivered wood chip around the estate. Well done all- great job on a nice new task location!

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
After a day of changeable Autumn weather, Area Activator Simon was happy to catch up with a top crew of Goodgym Islington runners after the Bank Holiday Weekend. Together, we enjoyed a pleasant run down Sobell Road, and over to a hidden community plot by Isledon Gardens (maintained by local volunteers Mary and Richard).
Local legend Eslam also cycled over to see us, bringing along a cargo bike full of tools. Spades, forks and even the odd pick-axe!
Our plans for the evening were three fold:
We helped with digging a trench along an already established wood chip path (both sides, approx 8 inches deep). The objective is to plant new supports along the route to maintain its integrity (especially during wet winter months)
After the digging task, we were directed to an alleyway across the road from the gardens. We paired up to safely transport 16 railway sleepers into the gardens. These had been left in place since for many years, but we did a smashing job of preparing them for future projects
Finally, we used our last 10 minutes or so to gather up green waste from around the gardens, and to add it to th compost bins. Using shovels and jutes coffee sacks helped to make short work of our last task!
The volunteer gardening team were thrilled with the amount of progress we had made in just under an hour, especially between a team of 8 keen Goodgymmers!. Well done everyone!

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
5 keen Goodgym runners joined Area Activator Simon at the Arsenal Community Hub last night, to enjoy a group run up to the lovelySunnyside Community Gardens near Elthorne Park. Upon our arrival, we caught up with Eslam and the rest of our team, enjoying a warm Summer's evening in a pretty green space.
Shovels, forks, wheelbarrows and hose pipes were gathered up in advance, ready for a big Goodgym task! Our objective for the evening was to move the entire contents of a large compost bay, and then sieve through the soil to remove large twigs, branches or forgotten coffee sacks. The twigs were moved to a secondary compost bay, to allow them to break down over time.
As we rotated the soil, Michelle helped with spraying down the compost with water, to help with mixing the materials together (the soil has become very dry, and we needed to use forks to break it up). It took about 40 minutes for our team to remove the compost, but only 10 minutes to shovel it back into place- well done everyone l!
As as a Thank You for our hard work, Eslam invited us to the Sunnyside Community Gardens allotments and greenhouses, across the road from our work space. A hidden treasure trove of fresh vegetables, and community grown produce! We were even allowed to bring a few pots of callaloo back home with us!
Thanks again for a great evening.
Next week we will be at Elizabeth House Food Hub (meeting at 7pm)- more details below!

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
Area Activator Simon was thrilled to have 9 Goodgym Runners and Walkers (including first timer Deirdre - welcome!) join Goodgym Islington for our first plogging session of 2025!
What is "plogging"?
Plogging is a fitness trend that combines jogging with picking up litter, originating in Sweden. The word is a portmanteau of the Swedish words "plocka upp" (pick up) and "jogga" (jog). It's a way to stay active while also contributing to a cleaner environment.
Together, our crew ran up the Gillespie Park Nature Trail after a warm up on the Emirates Stadium slopes. On route, we stopped to enjoy fresh blackberries, and to coax a huge cat to say Hello to us! We approached Finsbury Park, and spotted more red t-shirts in the distance, waiting for our running team at the newly renovated Finsbury Park Skatepark Plaza.
Area Activator Simon pulled out foldable litter pickers, black bags and sturdy gloves from his big running bag of wonders, and explained the proceedings for tonight's task. In three groups of three, we set about walking around the perimeter of Finsbury Park, picking up as much litter as possible. These particular sections of the park are often hard to access by the grounds team, and debris from picnics and parties often gets blown over here by the wind. Our objective was to fill nine bags of rubbish within about 40 minutes.
Team 1 scoured the main pathways towards the Finsbury parkrun start line, Team 2 headed towards the children's playground and duck pond, while Team 3 got stuck in by the fences next to the skatepark. The areas that are less frequented by the public are always the spots that become over run with litter - Team 3 had the biggest task on their hands, and we all pitched in before the end of the evening!
Great work everyone. We received some lovely comments from visitors in the park, appreciating our efforts. A smashing way to spend a summer's evening!
