Corner of Peace and Serenity

Liverpool Report written by Naser (He/Him)

This year’s sun, brighter and warmer than ever, carried us through spring and summer as though autumn might never arrive. But after weeks of drizzle and chill fighting for entry, the season finally broke through. Last week’s GoodGym session had been cancelled because of the rain, leaving everyone eager to meet again.

From the buzz in the WhatsApp group, you could tell how much we had missed one another. When the week’s location was announced, I checked the website. The name looked familiar, so familiar that a picture formed in my mind. I wondered, could it be that place? After running, I arrived and saw the group gathered. Yes, it was the same spot. Years ago, I had passed by here often when it was nothing but a rubbish dump. I used to hope that one day it would be transformed. And now, here it stood, not a forgotten corner but a jewel. Warm, caring hands had not just lit a candle here, they had hung a chandelier. The little olive bonsai gave the place a spirit of peace.

Placed between a mosque and a church, the corner felt like a symbol of harmony, an oasis where people of different backgrounds could meet. That evening, the warmth of the group outweighed the chill of autumn. Seeing Mishael, a new member, added even more energy. Soon, Khan, our host, came from a nearby house. Friendly and full of life, he explained our task, to pull up the weeds so the plants could breathe and grow. Unlike most hosts who specify what to remove, Khan simply trusted us to decide. At first, the task felt uncertain, but with guidance from experienced members, piles of weeds quickly took shape.

As always, conversations flowed. At one point, I asked Khan if his name began with “KH.” When he confirmed, we spoke about the meaning of names. I told him names are small miracles that can shape personality and destiny. When I shared that my own name means “someone who helps,” he smiled and admitted his middle name means “garden.” With a laugh, he added, “I never thought I’d actually be part of building one.” That is the quiet power of names.

By the end, we had gathered far more weeds than expected, pressing them down to fit into bags. Yet the work felt light, the warmth of the group kept the evening glowing. Even after Khan announced the end of the session, no one was in a hurry to leave. We stayed, talking and enjoying the space we had helped care for.

The GoodGym Liverpool family is truly something special. Once again, empathy and cooperation turned a small act into a meaningful transformation. We showed that community development doesn’t come from big budgets or loud slogans, but from simple things, shared effort, warm hearts, and the desire to make a place better.

Because when hands join with hope, even the coldest corner can become a garden of peace.

One Maw For the Road

Liverpool Report written by Miriam Rowe

It had been raining all morning. The first autumn days where it’s chilly and there’s wet leaves on the ground. I think we all thought ‘are we really doing this?’ But, motivated by Sallyann’s loyalty card system (points equal prizes!) - Dan, Bekah, Aminah, Leo, Lucien, Sian, Jessica, Sophie, Sallyann and I all made it out of bed and to Princes Park for the 9th monthly Park Run.

I had originally intended to just go along to take some video footage for the Goodgym advert but something about the atmosphere made me think, you know what, I’m going to try and run! Bekah, very graciously ran/walked with me. Her motivational quotes ‘you are already lapping everyone on the couch’ and ‘those who say they can and those who say they can’t are both right’ spurned me on! Everyone else lapped us I think ha ha! I almost gave up half way round but Bekah was right, the feeling of completing the course makes you feel great and more importantly sets you up for a hearty breakfast.

We stood around in the rain while everyone humoured my attempts to get the footage for the advert. Some fantastic performances! Sallyann gave out a GOLD star to those with their loyalty cards. Who is going to win that prize?! Then some of us went on to have breakfast at a new cafe called Maw on Aigburth Road. It was really nice. The menu had some great options. Most of us went for the ‘special eggs’ which was like a cross between a Spanish omelette and scrambled eggs. Really nice food and lovely staff who said that they would reserve a table for us in future. We then had a game of ‘guess the song’ from the drawings which depicted different songs all around the cafe. We got pretty much all of them.

So the rain did not defeat us! We had a lovely run, discovered somewhere new and many of the goodgymers are on the way to completing their loyalty cards, on to the 10th!

Goodgym is no chair-weather friend

Liverpool Report written by Miriam Rowe

It was raining quite heavily when I got the bus from Old Swan and Bekah drove from Toxteth to a house near Breeze Hill. We met Mr. W and he explained that ‘Bulky Bob’s’ (the local big waste collectors) were coming soon to collect his arm chairs. He wanted them moved into his back room and some other chairs bought down from upstairs. It was a bit of a ‘to me to you’ moment when we navigated how to get the chairs down the stairs. Mr. W was really grateful and said that once Bulky Bob’s had collected he would like us to come back and move the chairs we’d bought down from upstairs into the back room so he could put some flooring down in the living room. We were really glad to be able to complete the mission despite the bad weather and we’d be happy to help Mr. W again.
