7 wonderful GoodGym folk made light work of a balcony clear-out!
Tottenham Court Road hummed its usual bustle as our group – of Helen, Jackie, Lydia, Siobhan, and Steve – climbed through the American International Church's magnificent doors.
We were there to meet the AIC's brilliant community engagement aficionado – and fellow GoodGymer – Brooke, who had a perfectly-shaped task for GoodGym!
The balcony is suspended above the church hall and it's filled with the usual – pews, books, community notices – as well as the less usual – an eclectic assortment of chairs, random poles, fun-looking toys, and more!
We were there to move the excess items down the three flights to the basement, across the church's underbelly, and out to the side entrance ready for collection and recycling!
Cue this team kicking into the most efficient (and happy) human chain I've ever witnessed – they picked, carried, passed, and repeated – onlookers marveled, removal companies trembled, and the loot was moved and tidily organised in 45 swift minutes!
Thank you so much, everyone! Here's to next time!

•••4 Wonderful GoodGym folk gave a community flower bed a makeover in Camden!***
Camden Square Gardens is a special patch of community space a little East from Camden Town. Surrounded by community dwellings, sections of this green space are cared for by the local community.
Jackie, John, Siobhan, and I met the wonderful Annabel, who guided us to a patch with potential! Open and large, the hope is that this space will soon be filled with shrubs and flowers, and our work involved helping prepare this space for planting.
Over 60 minutes, our special group dug and forked, getting deep into the soil to attack the roots of invasive weeds and thistles.
Four of us meant four hours of work, and we collected a healthy pile of natural waste together :)
Thank you, everyone! See you next time!

7 GoodGymers weathered the heat and the hills to make a wonderful difference in Waterlow Park!
High up in the heights of North Camden sits a very special green space – Waterlow Park's meandering pathways are filled with trees and flowers – and it's a blissful haunt for everyone who's lucky enough to know about it.
Our fabulous group – of Alison, Jackie, John, Lydia (on their first good deed – welcome!), Steve, and Tom – assembled next to a wheelbarrow filled with spades, forks, and clippers.
The task was a classic for GoodGym – a good ol' dig-up + re-use.
Jackie, John, Steve, and Tom grabbed forks and energy and made miraculous work easing oodles of flowers from a patch that will soon be replanted!
Meanwhile, Alison and Lydia prepared a new patch (watering and digging holes) and then planted the recently dug-up flowers!
In short thrift, one patch was cleared and tidy, while another was prepared and planted. This team made the heavy work look light.
Thank you, everyone!
