Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
The Goodgym Islington crew returned to Caxton House Community Centre last night with 13 superstars on hand to help with a big renovation project. Task coordinator Rose had prepared the main hall and reception area of the centre ready for our arrival - paint, wire brushes, clothes and rollers on hand.
Our task for the evening was to remove old guard covers off the radiators in the main hall (originally fitted to protect children from burning themselves on hot pipes, but now no longer serving their purpose) and to take them to a recycling spot. Then, we split into groups to wipe dust off the radiators and to scuff up the old paint using wire brushes. In the meantime, we also had a team masking off the edges of the reception table and wiping down other surfaces.
Step 2 involved using water based (but heat resistant) paint to coat the radiators. We used small brushes to leave a nice even coating around the pipes. A roller was used on the reception desk for 2 coats of nice green paint- looking super clean after an hour of hard work!
Rose and the team at Caxton House were thrilled with the progress we made in such a small amount of time. We were told that the day time staff "love it when the runners come down to help", because they always have a nice surprise when they arrive in the morning after a Goodgym visit! Caitlin brought us an absolutely delicious banana cake too- a wonderful way to celebrate a job well done.
See you all at the Arsenal Community Hub next week for a special Gillespie Park plogging session!
(It was Area Activator Simon's 700th good deed last night! Come and join us for a pizza social next week at Someday Canteen to celebrate!)

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
We were thrilled to have 9 keen Goodgymmers joining the GG Islington crew for our first group run session of 2025. Area Activator Simon joined runners Louise, Caitlin, Emily and Bianca for a lovely 1.5 mile run (on quiet streets due to the cold weather) down to Barnard Park.
Upon our arrival, we caught up with the rest of our team at the Barnard Park Adventure Playground (a fun former Goodgym Islington task circa 2022!), and split into 3 groups to scout out discarded Xmas trees within the immediate borough. The official Islington drop off point had been recently cleared, so our plan was to try and fill it again within30 minutes!
Between our three crews, we successfully picked up 20+ trees - super impressive work all round! 6 of our runners then joined us on the route back to the Arsenal Community Hub (passing Paradise Park and the Hornsey Model Bakery) to top off an excellent evening out.

Hackney Report written by anne malcolm
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!

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
On a lovely mild Monday evening (thankfully not as blustery as last time!), Area Activator Simon met Caitlin, Louise and Ivo at the Arsenal Community Hub. Together, we ran through the neighbourhood back streets and along Camden Road to at wonderful Camden Estate Gardens, off Rowstock Gardens. Goodgym Islington regular Matt and local gardening expert Michelle met us on the corner, and directed us to this great urban growing project.
Michelle was thrilled to have our team visit before the Christmas Holidays, as the community gardening space was full of fallen leaves and foliage (especially after the recent store). Our team got straight to work by picking up gloves, rakes and spades, and gathering up the green waste into tightly packed heavy duty bags. Our 7 completely filled bags are due to be left in place throughout the rest of Winter, ready to be used for planting in 2025.
Within 50 minutes, we had swept up almost every fallen left within the gardens- absolutely smashing job, everyone! Three of our team continued to run back to The Emirates Stadium together, passing one of our favourite task locations on route (Penn Road Gardens). We certainly hope to return to Rowstock Gardens again next year, so watch this space!
