This week our fantastic crew of do-gooders traded their usual pavement pounding for some serious dirt work at Brixton Windmill Allotments! ๐พ
Our wonderful community member Annick needed a helping hand (or seven!) with some essential gardening tasks. We were ready to get our hands dirty - literally!
We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Andrej to his very first GoodGym session - what a way to break yourself in! Welcome to the family! ๐
Huge shoutout to Anna who arrived looking the business in her official GG running jacket - she was definitely dressed for success! ๐โโ๏ธโจ
And of course, our regular dream team was out in full force: Katie, Ben, and Michael - you legends never fail to turnip when we need you! ๐ฅ
Another ground-breaking session in the books! We left Annickโs allotment looking berry good indeed. Until next time, keep on running and doing good!
Keep calm and GoodGym on! ๐๐โโ๏ธ

Today, I throughly enjoyed my time at the Vauxhall foodbank, unpacking and packing the food donation delivery. One of the benefits of combining exercise with volunteering is meeting new people whetherthey are Goodgymers or other people working or also volunteering where you do your good deed, it can really help lyour mood and give you much needed perspective on your own personal life challenges. It's a win, win situation.

I had the pleasure of helping Mr B with his garden. I did my best in the rain, but more missions will be needed.

I was one of four volunteers including three GoodGymmers who visited the Vauxhall Garden Community Centre to help with the Thursday preparation of food items that will be distributed at their Friday foodbank.
Before the main delivery arrived we start to cut up and bag the large delivery of bread that had been delivered.
The main delivery then followed. Amongst the deliveries which included of carrots, cabbages, limes, corn cobs, a large quantity of doughnuts, the foodbank received a box of cereal branded from the Netflix programme Squid Games.
We successfully completed the task in preparation for the foodbank.

Lots of weeds have grown through the patio and all over flower beds. I focused on the main area removing all weeds and sweeping the patio. Plenty more to do.

๐โโ๏ธ๐ฑ This week our lovely bunch of fitness fanatics and gardening gladiators headed to Landor Road Allotments to lend Valcie a helping hand - and boy, did we dig right in! ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ
Our green-fingered gang tackled:
The team worked so hard, you could say we were absolutely plant-astic! ๐ป
But wait, thereโs more! The real magic happened when the sun went down and the party vibes came up! Our late summer social was absolutely mint to be! ๐ฟโจ
Everyone brought something delicious to share (because good food + good people = thyme well spent! โฐ๐ฟ). We spread out under the stars for an evening picnic that was simply un-beet-able! ๐ฅ๐ต
The 90s playlist had everyone feeling nostalgic - from Blue Dabadee to Gangsters Paradise, we were grow-ving to the beat all night long! ๐ถ And yes, there may have been some questionable karaoke performances under the lamplight that had us all in stitches (the good kind, not the running kind!) ๐ค๐ก
A lovely time was had by all, and we proved once again that the best way to turnip the fun is by mixing fitness, community service, and good friends!
Until next week, keep on running and keep on growing! ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฑ๐
