Five GG-ers from across the boroughs banded together to set up the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre foodbank ready for its customers. This is a fantastic project which supports 75-90 service users a week, and it was all hands on deck to get things ready this morning.

Tasks included carrying crates of food up from the store room, chopping cabbages, dividing bunches of bananas, decanting yoghurt into smaller tubs, weeding out the veg that was past its best, and creating eye-catching displays of the produce.

Today it was all about the bananas in preparation for Friday's foodbank session.

The prep for Friday was quite quick, mainly because the centre didn't receive many donations.

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report: Chip Happens! 🏃‍♀️🌳 What a woody wonderful evening at Agnes Riley Gardens! Our magnificent crew showed up ready to get down and dirty (literally) with the Friends of the Park, and boy did we mulch things happen! 💪🏼

The Dream Team Our usual legends Jo, Fi, Tilly, and Ben were firing on all cylinders, and we were absolutely thrilled to welcome back the long-lost Marie-Noelle! We’d really pined for her return! 🌲

The Mission Armed with shovels, wheelbarrows, and questionable dance moves, we tackled two timber-rific tasks: ∙ Shifting mountains of wood chip onto the mud kitchen (because every tiny chef deserves a splinter-free workspace 👨‍🍳) ∙ Levelling ground for a new bench (future bottoms will thank us!) The Work There was shovelling. There was barrowing. There was laying. There was soil-turning. Basically, we were one wheelbarrow away from starting our own landscaping empire. You could say we really barked up the right tree with this one! 🎯

The Grand Finale What’s a GoodGym session without totally embarrassing ourselves? We wrapped up with a spontaneous Cha Cha Slide on our freshly laid wood chip dance floor. Slide to the left? ✅ Criss cross? ✅ Charlie Brown? Absolutely! 💃🕺

Same time next week, legends? 🍾✨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Today Goodgymer Brenda, assisted Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre foodbank serving appreciative individuals food aid.

Another great session at Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre, unloading, sorting and packing food donations in preparation for Friday foodbank service.
