At the end of the Hottest Sale of the year , Goodgym Brent arrived at Traid in Kilburn. We packed up the unsold clothes in record time , the very definition of fast fashion. There was no time for hanging around as we packed up hangers . We gave a very warm welcome to Danielle for her first ever goodgym session .
Beatriz was very hot , and only had one fully functional arm, but still tidied more than her fair share of clothes and hangers.
Many hands made light work so we wrapped up within the hour and had a cool drink in a beer garden nearby.
Great work ! We will be back in three months to do it all again !

On a sunny afternoon, I had the pleasure of volunteering at Into the Park '25, Kilburn’s vibrant community festival. I joined the team around 2 PM and stayed until 4 PM, just in time to dive into the excitement and help make the day even more special.
To my delight, I was assigned one of the sweetest spots—running the baked goods and drinks stall! Armed with a fully stocked display of cakes, buns, pastries, and refreshing drinks, I quickly refreshed the setup, topped up the ice buckets, and got ready for action. I even had my own cash drawer and a card reader device—yes, I was feeling very professional.
The festival was absolutely buzzing. There was live music, local performances, family-friendly activities, and a beautiful atmosphere of community and joy. I met so many lovely people and, in just two hours, served around 50 happy customers!
Being part of this event reminded me how powerful community gatherings can be. I was proud to contribute to such a fun, inclusive, and meaningful day—especially knowing it supports mental well-being, creativity, and connection in Kilburn.
Huge thanks to the amazing team behind the festival for trusting me with the best job and making me feel so welcome. Can’t wait for the next one!

Last night, our team met in Willesden and ran to Clitterhouse Farm, ready to roll up our sleeves and get stuck into some serious garden work.
The biggest task of the evening was shifting a hefty pile of firewood—log after log, we worked as a team to move it all efficiently using bags and wheelbarrows to help.
Once the wood was sorted, we tackled the wild garden, removing thorns, weeds, and a particularly large patch of bindweed. It was satisfying work, and the space looked noticeably better by the end of the evening.
Rob handed out a number of other odd jobs including bending metal rods and tidying up rubbish .
Huge thanks to everyone who came along and made light work of a heavy job. Clitterhouse Farm is a special place, and it was great to contribute to keeping it thriving.
