Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
In mid-August heat 10 wonderful GoodGymers caught a lovely evening in Kentish Town!
Cressfield Close is an unassuming cul-de-sac — houses and quiet — and yet hiding special community spaces!
There's the city farm — with goats and guinea pigs and sheep and more — and there's also the sheltered housing, which was our home for the evening :)
This lovely group — Alex, Alison, Claire (on their first Camden good deed – great to meet you!), Danny, Jackie, Jessica (on their first good deed — welcome!), John, Lydia, and Steve — were welcomed by residents Marie and Michael, and we got quickly to our evening work.
The communal garden is a bountiful space (fruits, vegetables, and flowers aplenty) and we were tasked with targeting the thistles and weeds that have sprung over the summer.
Armed with trowels and forks, this group donned gloves and made light work of everything — and all while connecting and sharing stories :)
Thank you, everyone! See you soon!!

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!

10 wonderful GoodGym folk made a green-fingered difference in Kentish Town!
Five of us – Alex, Danny, John, Matt, and Steve – started out from Somers Town yesterday evening.
Matt ran from Battersea Park – John sprinted from Euston Station – Danny ran down from Kentish Town – and Steve wove his usual route up from Bloomsbury!
Together we followed a steady route towards Willingham Terrace (situated in a very hot Kentish Town) and met five others – Alison, Caitlin, Helen, Lydia, and Sarah – each of whom made their own journeys (on foot and bike) to our good-deeding venue.
Hilda has lived on this estate for decades and she's transformed the green spaces – there's a bountiful allotment that was once a verge – and it's all thanks to Hilda's perseverance and creativity.
Yesterday was our second visit and we were focused once again on the communal square's hedgerow.
Weeds were pulled – grass edges were established – and four great big bags of cuttings were collected and disposed.
The difference was huge – and all under an overbearing July sun!
Thank you, everyone!! See you next time!!

Lydia Crawford completed their first run in a new area.
Curious? Lydia has just run their first session in another area. For that explorative spirit Lydia is awarded the scout badge. A Scout is trustworthy
