The second of our Christmas Tree clear up tasks, exploring the streets of Hackney for the final few stragglers. We dragged a big hoard of trees to the collection skip which was surprisingly empty with trees lying on the ground surrounding it. So for a bonus good deed we hurled many a tree through the air into the skip. It was raining trees and in no time the skip was full. Well done everyone!

Welcome Duncan on first good deed, nice one!

Great to be back for our first group run of 2025 and even better starting it with a good deed clearing the paths in Hackney! This helps paths become accessible and gives Hackney Council a hand.

In under an hour combined with a social run we managed to clear near around 20 Trees. A fantastic cardio and strength workout.

And welcome Michael and Sibyl to their first Hackney session and for getting stuck in!

Keep an eye out for future group sessions :)

It's that time of year again when Christmas trees have served their festive purpose and put out on the streets. With councils encouraging residents to drop off their trees at Christmas Tree Collection Points, GoodGym stepped in to help gather trees off the streets and into the pile for recycling.

Six ready volunteers set forth from Clissold Park to see what they could find. Despite 12th Night not yet passed, the team found plenty trees to keep them occupied for an hour. By the end, they had gathered a tree-mendous 20 trees (and a couple of wreaths!), creating a more obvious collection point for any residents planning to drop off their own.

There is , more tree collecting action on Tuesday 7th January around Hackney Downs. Join us if you can!
