Goodgym Islington Area Activator Simon hosted an annual running kit swap and donation evening on Tuesday night, booked at The Horatia pub, Holloway Road.

This is a collaboration between The Green Runners and Preloved Sports CIC, in an effort to keep quality sports kit away from landfill for as long as possible. Who needs new kit for messy Goodgym tasks anyway?

Thank you to Kim, Emma and Harvey for offering kit donations and for the nice chats!

11 GoodGymers brought community (and muscle!) to this special North London green space!

Nestled between houses and flats in Holly Lodge Estate is a blossoming green space for the community.

Nurtured and designed by Growing Green (a wonderful charity) this vacant space is steadily becoming an actively loved space for everyone.

And we were there to lend a very helpful hand yesterday morning!

Our group of...

💚 Goodgym new starters Joanna, Krista, Mariama, and Philippa — a big welcome! 💚 GoodGymers from Tower Hamlets, Hammersmith, and beyond — Emma, Fiona, Ilana, James, and Kareem — it was great to see you! 💚 Camden GG regular Danny — it was fab seeing you!!

... made a HUGE difference in 90 busy minutes!

There was digging and weeding and planting and shifting materials and boxes and cutting trees and pruning branches, and our task host (Claudia) was truly AMAZED at how much you all did :)

Thank you so much for your work and energy, everyone! See you soon!
