Log-istical Legends

Newham Report written by Hilary (she/her)

On a balmy Tuesday evening, a squad of eight set off from the Aquatics Centre for a classic GoodGym combo: run, task, teamwork, impact.

This week’s destination? The ever-welcoming Hackney Marsh Adventure Playground, where we were met by the indomitable Ange — beaming with good news. The playground dates back to the 1970s, when a degree of risk taking and challenge was all part of the design philosophy. Lots of the structures at the playground that support this philosophy are in need of replacement and Ange has recently secured some funding that will support long-overdue redevelopment work.

Those who’ve been on previous tasks here may remember shifting a hefty stack of wooden piles to free up one area for works. This time, the redevelopment zone had moved to the entrance where we'd moved them, so naturally, it was time to move them again! (strategic rotation?)

Armed with gloves, grit, and GoodGym spirit, we made short work of not only the infamous wooden piles but a few other bits of timber, too. Classic GoodGym efficiency — in and out, job done.

Special shout-out to our trio of first-time GoodGymers: Bianca, Lise and Mark — great to have you along and hope this is the first of many! And a warm Newham welcome to Richard, joining us for the first time in the borough — strong debut energy all round.

This task is always a favourite. Ange’s commitment to the playground and her legendary organisation mean it’s a joy to return each time — even if the wood just keeps moving in circles. Thanks to everyone who came along and made light work of a weighty task. Until the next pile shift... ply on! 🪵

Next week, we’re making a long-awaited return to the brilliant UP Garden — an award-winning community hub that’s been transformed from a disused laundry yard into a urban oasis for local residents. It’s always a pleasure to visit, and our host Suze will no doubt have a good list of tasks! 💪

There's a least a dozen puns I could have used!!

Newham Report written by Sharon

Hilary took on the task of leading the team from the Aquatics Center.

Kevin and I opted for a shorter run from home

Tim walked from Stratford so was the first to arrive and so was there to welcome Zetta on her first GoodGym task.

After a quick catch up with Paul,Brad,Adam and Eugene who we haven't seen for a few weeks.

We also welcomed Emily and Juan to there first Goodgym task and Nick on his first visit to Emmanuel Church.

Once all the introductions had been made Sybil set us to work with weeding the flower beds at the front of the church and also trim the shrubs,with the help of two of the church wardens.

Sybil then took me to the side of the church to plan out what we will be doing when we return July.

Weeds pulled and shrubs trimmed we packed up and took the tools back into the church where Sybil had laid on a wonderful set of refreshments. Sybil sent Eugene home with a food parcel.

Next week we head to Newham Hospital

Dustin time for Easter

Newham Report written by Sharon

A return to an evening task st Emmanuel Church.

This week Sybil had asked if it would be possible for us to give the church a spring clean ready for their Easter services.

A received a very warm welcome from Sybil who then led us into the church.

Brooms,feather dusters and clothes at the ready we split into groups and proceeded to dust and remove as many cobwebs as possible.

Kevin was in charge of ladder holding while Adam gave the ceiling a brush.

Graham and Brad with the help from one of the church wardens fashioned an extra long brush to reach the cobwebs above the arches.

A quick refuel thanks to the wonderful lady wardens who had made us cheese on toast in addition to tea and coffee and fruit,we also finished off my birthday cake. Refueled we made a final push to get the final webs before we said our goodbyes not before Sybil made sure we had some fruit for when we got home.
