Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
On yet another muggy and humid Monday evening, Area Activator Simon was joined by 3 keen Goodgym runners for a fun social run right down to the Islington / Shoreditch border. Louise, Deirdre and Alice ran together from the Arsenal Community Hub, through Upper Street and down towards Regent's Canal and the City Basin- a solid 2.2 mile run with one slight wrong turn! The canalside was buzzing with activity - folks commuting from Angel or Kings Cross, the Islington Boat Club leading kayak sessions or fellow running groups passing through.
Upon our arrival, we met with Matthew, Mehmet and Eslam, and got straight to work with a variety of tasks laid out by The Friends of Graham Street (aka FROGS). Our first (and most important) task involved using buckets and watering cans to hydrate the community planting beds and allotments around Graham Street Park. We carefully dripped our vessels into the canal water, and made our way to the planting gardens by the open playground (covered in street art by Skeleton Cardboard), and towards the East of the park.
In the meantime, Matthew, Mehmet and Eslam were busy digging out a compost bin, and mixing the contents together (allowing the material to aerate). We used shovels for the initial digging, and forks for the shifting, while pouring more water onto the compost mixture for additional hydration. Towards the end of our session, we successfully piled the fertiliser back into the bin, ready to be cultivated for spring time. Louise and Eslam even washed the tarpaulin covers in the Regents Canal before placing them back in position.
Excellent work, everyone. A really efficient evening for jobs for this lovely community group. Keep your eyes peeled for more sessions on World Clean Up Day on Saturday 20th September!

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
5 keen Goodgym runners joined Area Activator Simon at the Arsenal Community Hub last night, to enjoy a group run up to the lovelySunnyside Community Gardens near Elthorne Park. Upon our arrival, we caught up with Eslam and the rest of our team, enjoying a warm Summer's evening in a pretty green space.
Shovels, forks, wheelbarrows and hose pipes were gathered up in advance, ready for a big Goodgym task! Our objective for the evening was to move the entire contents of a large compost bay, and then sieve through the soil to remove large twigs, branches or forgotten coffee sacks. The twigs were moved to a secondary compost bay, to allow them to break down over time.
As we rotated the soil, Michelle helped with spraying down the compost with water, to help with mixing the materials together (the soil has become very dry, and we needed to use forks to break it up). It took about 40 minutes for our team to remove the compost, but only 10 minutes to shovel it back into place- well done everyone l!
As as a Thank You for our hard work, Eslam invited us to the Sunnyside Community Gardens allotments and greenhouses, across the road from our work space. A hidden treasure trove of fresh vegetables, and community grown produce! We were even allowed to bring a few pots of callaloo back home with us!
Thanks again for a great evening.
Next week we will be at Elizabeth House Food Hub (meeting at 7pm)- more details below!
