After plenty of missions spent cleaning and tidying, it was a lovely treat to be on the front line at Merton's Community Fridge distribution session, serving up meals and smiles while helping to tackle food waste. A tasty change of scenery supporting such an important community space.

After an hour it was time to switch out, and head to another job but fortunately a trusty GoodGymer was on hand to step in. Relay team effort!

Three GoodGymers headed to the Merton and Morden Guild to tackle a task that was anything but a bog-standard paint job. Making moody blue to a brilliant, fresh white.

We kicked things off with a heavy session of masking tape. Then came the real challenge: the texture. Those interestingly bumpy blue walls required some serious effort, but between some expert cutting-in and heavy-duty rollering, we made sure the blue we could reach was well and truly whitened. We will be back to work on another coat and deal with the gloss as soon as we can.

The session was a whirlwind of layout and logistics, involving setting up tables and arranging chairs to transform the hall into a welcoming party venue for the Fridge friends. Once the furniture was in place, attention turned to the refreshments - getting the food laid out and ready for the guests to arrive.

Arriving early with two pairs of hands meant we made light work of the setup, flying through the to-do list in record time. Between all the chair lifting and room prepping, it turned into a fantastic end-of-day workout for a great cause.

Last-minute call during my lunch break to help the team pack away after their "Sew-cial" session. It was a quick but effective mission, getting everything tidied and stored away so the space was ready for its next use.

We can't keep away from the Community Fridge, or at least not while there are lots of jobs to do! The evening's remit, after running to the task, was to sort food according to date and pack it into labelled boxes. Meanwhile, the rest of the team set about cleaning and tidying the church kitchen. We totally nailed both jobs, before making our way to the pub for a well-earned social. As well as relaxing over a beer we surprised Jade by presenting her with her trophy for Goodgym's Sean Coxhead Inspiring Individual Award. Congratulations to Jade and a big welcome to first-timers Carmen and John, as well as Goodgym tourist Louise from Islington. On a sadder note, we said goodbye to Rob but hopefully he will visit us when he's down in London.
