Lottie Hazel has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Lottie is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Lambeth Report written by Katie Welford
It was a lovely warm April evening - hooray! SO MANY people turned up, including a healthy dose of lovely new runners. This was ideal as there was lots to do.
A smaller group ran 1 mile down Brixton road, led by Issy and John, to help Ameena at Holland Town Estate. The playground park area is always in need of some de-weeding and pruning and GoodGym are the ones to do it!
The rest of us headed over to Clapham Common to continue our creation of the wildflower meadow. We ran in two groups so as not to cause too much of a commotion en route. Katie led a team along Clapham High Street and George took his lot via Acre Lane. On arrival, there was lots to do! Some people set about watering the flowers already planted ahead of the expected hot weather, whilst the rest took up spades and forks to remove the next strip of turf and turn the soil over once done. We had wheelbarrow runners and people waiting at the other end to unload the turf. It was a well oiled machine and everyone got really stuck in.
Both tasks were a great workout for arms and core and so we did lots of nice stretches when we got back and then headed off to the pub on our monthly social.
Well done Lambeth!
