Friday was market day so managed to pick up some lovely mackerel fillets. A stop at asda and the pharmacy completed the mission so Mr V has enough supplies for the weekend.

On a sunny day in New Cross a foodbank parcel was collected and delivered to Ms S to ensure she had enough provisions for the week.

🏃‍♀️🌱

Our merry band of fitness-focused do-gooders laced up their trainers and ran straight into the heart of gardening glory this week! We sprinted over to Brixton allotments where the lovely Annick was waiting with tasks that would really grow on us.

The Dirt on What We Did

This week’s mission was all about getting our hands dirty – and boy, did we deliver! We rolled up our sleeves to help build a brand new planting patch, because apparently we’re not just good at running, we’re also ground-breaking volunteers.

Our tasks included:

• Soil Straightening: We smoothed things over (literally) by getting that earth perfectly level
• Newspaper Laying: Proving that we really know how to cover all the bases
• Manure Heaping: We absolutely nailed this crappy job with enthusiasm
• Bathtub Filling: Yes, you read that right – we wheelbarrowed loads of manure to fill an actual bathtub! Talk about a moving experience

Michael - Our legendary 301 task hero continues to be absolutely unbe-leaf-able! With dedication like yours, we’re never stumped for inspiration.

The Bottom Line

Another week, another chance to prove that fitness and community service make the perfect compost – they just work better together! Big thanks to Annick for having us and giving us tasks that were definitely worth our thyme.

Until next week, keep running and keep growing! 🌿

Remember: At GoodGym, we don’t just run circles – we dig deep and make a difference!
