GoodGym Kingston is Volunteer Team 2024 at the Kingston Borough Sports Awards

Monday 11th November

Written by Rachel White

What an amazing night spent at Kingston Borough Sports Awards ceremony. We were very humbled being in the presence of such rising and established talent across Kingston Borough. GoodGym Kingston won an award for Volunteer Team 2024 and it was great to take stock of the last year.

This year we have, as a group, done 890 good deeds so far - what an amazing achievement and one we should all be proud of - whether it's one a year or one a week. We are all part of the same team and have impacted so many local charities and community groups in a positive way.

So thank you, Goodgym Kingston and let's see what the next year brings us.

Putting up posters for GoodGym

Sunday 29th September

Written by Rachel White

Armed with a handful of GoodGym leaflets each, we pinned them on noticeboards, handed them out in the neighborhood or placed them in areas that might catch the eye of potential new GoodGymers. So often we help other charities and community groups in the area that it's great to promote the one we are affiliated with. Well done team! Let's see if we get some new sign ups to help us on our good deed missions.

Spreading the word about GoodGym Merton

Sunday 8th September

Written by Rachel White

GoodGym had a great day at the Big Sports Day in Wimbledon Park celebrating sport in the borough. We met with Roxanne Bennett, the Sports and Leisure Manager, from Merton Council, Councillor Caroline Cooper Marbiah, and the Mayor of Merton, Councillor Slawek Szczepanski, and told them all about how great GoodGym is and how we can support local charities and community groups in the borough once GoodGym Merton is launched. We just need three more taskforce to launch so if you want to be part of the process then let us know!

We spent an hour walking round the event handing out leaflets and explaining what we do. Jade got into networking mode and chatted with all the community groups and created valuable connections face-to-face to let them know how GoodGym Merton could support them.

So lovely to meet Caroline and with Jade and bond as the founding group of Goodgym Merton. Very excited for the launch! Watch this space.

Meet the mayor

Sunday 16th June

Written by Jana

I was lucky enough to represent GoodGym by attending a special Mayoral Sunday Civic Service to celebrate the start of the 24/25 Mayoral Year.

The theme of the ceremony was ‘championing volunteering and the natural environment' . Habitats & Heritage is the chosen mayoral charity for the coming 12 months.

The mayor was keen to attend a future Goodgym task as long as it doesn't involve running!

Ghoulish litter picking on spooky plogs

Sunday 30th October 2022

Written by Rachel White

This weekend we put our GoodGymers to the task of plogging in their local park or cemetery if they dared! They did not disappoint...

Sevan and Kash went full Halloween mode and dared to enter a spooky cemetery to collect the rubbish that was cluttering up the graves. How spooktacular!

Rob and his son went to the park and picked up food and drink detritus that was left by a careless soul.

Well done to all that went out and tidied up their local streets and parks.

Please send any further images to rachelwhite@goodgym.org and I can add them to to the report.
