Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

It was wonderful to have so many participants for our group run session to Highbury Quadrant Estate on Monday evening! 11 Goodgymmers (including first timer Lazar - welcome!) helped local volunteer coordinator Frannie and the team at Elizabeth House with a variety of green fingered tasks around the woodland gardens.

4 Goodgym runners joined Area Activator Simon for a warm up on the Emirates Stadium slopes, and a pleasant (if slightly hilly) run towards Clissold Park. Together, we gathered in the Wildflower Meadow community space, ready to assist the local residents (and to pet a 2 year old Border Terrier called Bernie- she was very friendly and was keen to meet new visitors!).

Group 1 were requested to pull on some gardening gloves, and to help with releasing rainwater from two large water butts next to the tool shed. The butts were in need of a clean, but we wanted to thoroughly drench all of the growing beds first to give the fruits, vegetables and flowers the best chance of surviving this very hot weather. A big job, but completed by the Goodgym team!

Group 2 started with using loppers to chop down the overgrown ivy surrounding the brick walls of the Wildflower gardens. Then, the rest of the crew used hoes, secateurs and rakes to gather up as much green waste as possible from the connected garden spaces. Anne and Matt took on the top garden, while Rosie and Michael (who completed his 50th good deed with us tonight! Congratulations!) made short work of the pathways by the allotments.

We did an amazing amount of work within 50 minutes - stellar job Goodgym folks! To celebrate, we ran back to the Arsenal Community Hub, and enjoyed a post group run social at The Tollington Arms. Highly recommended for delicious Thai cuisine and good times!

Bringing the Big Bins at the Rose Bowl Youth Club

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

4 Goodgymmers joined Area Activator Simon for our Goodgym Islington group run to The Rose Bowl youth club last night. Despite the very warm weather, our team ran 5km + to and from the Arsenal Community Hub, across Highbury Fields and towards St Paul's Way.

The Rose Bowl has been an active community hub in the Canonbury borough since 1978, operating as a food hub and an after hours children's centre too. As we arrived at the site, our Goodgym group were introduced to a room full of teachers, community leaders and charity representatives. Area Activator Simon briefly pitched Goodgym as a concept, before heading put to the main playground area at the back of the centre.

Firstly, we picked up rakes and brushes to sweep up all of the paths around the playground (particularly the pebbles that led to a covered play house). Next, we set about gathering as much litter from the surrounding grounds as possible (plenty of rubbish brought in by the wind, scattered in fences and near bushes).

To finish off our evening, we pitched in with removing some nettles from the pathways (very carefully), and weeding the brickwork and walled areas to make the space look neat and tidy. We received loads of praise from the visitors to the youth club, who were very impressed with our quick and efficient work!

Well done everyone. See you for a group run to Highbury Quadrant Estate next Monday!
