Last night’s GoodGym mission was all about elbow grease and elevation as we set off for One Church on Florence Road to give their kitchen a seriously deep clean.

We kicked things off with a short but steep run up Ditchling Hill and arrived with hearts pumping and ready to scrub.

Our task for the evening: turn a hardworking community kitchen from grubby to gleaming. This kitchen supports amazing projects like Chomp, which runs free school holiday lunch clubs for families on low incomes.

Armed with an arsenal of sprays, cloths, scrubbing brushes, and determination, we tackled every surface from top to bottom.

Fridges? Sparkling. Worktops? Shining. That one mystery corner no one wanted to look at? Conquered.

By the end, the kitchen was gleaming, our arms were tired, and we had used enough cleaning product to register it as a new GoodGym member.

Massive kudos to the team for their hard work and good vibes. A top-notch effort all round.

What a great session to welcome Omolade, aka Molly, in our community!

One Church, One Team, One Dream

Tuesday 25th February

Written by Rosie Baker

Thirteen GoodGymmers came out in force to help keep a community kitchen clean and tidy.

Eight of us ran 2km from our meeting point at the Old Stein, braving the long climb up Ditchling road to meet the rest of the group at our new task venue - One Church on Florence Road. One Church is a faith based community in Brighton that also runs various projects and initiatives that helps to bring the community together.

One such project is the Florence Road Cafe - a well used space to relax, work or meet other people. And we were tasked with giving their kitchen a good clean and tidy up! From clearing and cleaning the fridges, to pulling out ovens to clean them inside and out, to sorting pots and pans to make them easier to access. This really was an example of many hands making light work, as we worked our way through the long list of jobs in just 45minutes.

As a notice on the fridge said: "the first rule of the kitchen fairy, is there is no kitchen fairy; the kitchen is only cleaned by volunteers" And our amazing group of GoodGymmers certainly did a good job of being kitchen fairies this week.

WHAT's ON NEXT at GoodGym Brighton?
Plenty to amuse you to join us soon.

EVERYBODY is welcome!
