โ€œBin There, Done That: A Cap-tivating Adventureโ€ ๐Ÿพ

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

Mission: Operation Deep Clean at Max Roach Park

This week, our magnificent mob of do-gooders descended upon Max Roach Park for what can only be described as a rubbish time (in the best possible way)! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

Tom from Lambeth Council gave us our marching orders: wage war on litter with the fanciest grabbers this side of the Thames. Weโ€™re talking haute couture litter pickers, darling! ๐Ÿ’…

The Great Divide

Our troops split into two elite squads:

Squad 1: The Litter Legends ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Armed with our premium picking equipment, we swept through the park like a well-oiled cleaning machine. No crisp packet was safe. No stray cup escaped our grasp. We came, we saw, we picked it up.

Squad 2: The Bottle Top Battalion ๐Ÿพ
Meanwhile, the bench crew got down and dirty (literally), performing emergency surgery on the ground to extract embedded bottle tops. Talk about getting to the root of the problem! Their determination was truly cap-tivating. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Our Cast of Cleanup Crusaders

Shout out to our usual suspects who showed up ready to make Max Roach Park sparkle:

๐ŸŒŸ Andrej, Dan, Tilly, Michael, Eric, and Jo ๐ŸŒŸ

Special mention to Jo, whose homemade flapjacks provided the perfect fuel for our litter-fighting endeavors. Nothing says โ€œcommunity spiritโ€ quite like baked goods that actually stick to your ribs after picking up rubbish! ๐Ÿช๐Ÿค—

The Verdict

Another week, another park saved from the scourge of litter. We came for the fitness, stayed for the bins, and left with that warm fuzzy feeling that only comes from making your community a cleaner place (and maybe from Joโ€™s flapjacks).

Until next week, keep running, keep doing good, and remember: every piece of litter picked is one step closer to a trashy-free Lambeth!

Total Trash Talk: MAXIMUM ๐Ÿ“ˆ
Good Deeds Done: COUNTLESS โœ…
Puns Made: TOO MANY ๐Ÿ˜„


Keep calm and carry on picking! See you next week, legends! ๐ŸŽ‰

A Manure-ficent Adventure! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

Mission: Brixton Windmill Allotments Support

This week our fantastic crew of do-gooders traded their usual pavement pounding for some serious dirt work at Brixton Windmill Allotments! ๐ŸŒพ

The Mission Brief ๐Ÿ“‹

Our wonderful community member Annick needed a helping hand (or seven!) with some essential gardening tasks. We were ready to get our hands dirty - literally!

What We Got Up To ๐Ÿ’ช

  • Manure Madness: We shovelled mountains of the good stuff into wheelbarrows. It was a crappy job, but someone had to do it! ๐Ÿ’ฉ
  • Spreading the Love: Distributed said manure across the planting patches and bathtub garden - talk about fertilizing friendships! ๐ŸŒฑ
  • Apple-solutely Essential Work: Collected apples for both composting and juicing. We really apple-ied ourselves to the task! ๐ŸŽ

Star Performers โญ

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Andrej to his very first GoodGym session - what a way to break yourself in! Welcome to the family! ๐ŸŽ‰

Huge shoutout to Anna who arrived looking the business in her official GG running jacket - she was definitely dressed for success! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

And of course, our regular dream team was out in full force: Katie, Ben, and Michael - you legends never fail to turnip when we need you! ๐Ÿฅ•

The Verdict ๐Ÿ†

Another ground-breaking session in the books! We left Annickโ€™s allotment looking berry good indeed. Until next time, keep on running and doing good!

Keep calm and GoodGym on! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Squid Games x GoodGym

Lambeth Report written by Michael Welsh

I was one of four volunteers including three GoodGymmers who visited the Vauxhall Garden Community Centre to help with the Thursday preparation of food items that will be distributed at their Friday foodbank.

Before the main delivery arrived we start to cut up and bag the large delivery of bread that had been delivered.

The main delivery then followed. Amongst the deliveries which included of carrots, cabbages, limes, corn cobs, a large quantity of doughnuts, the foodbank received a box of cereal branded from the Netflix programme Squid Games.

We successfully completed the task in preparation for the foodbank.

A Blooming Lovely Evening with Lambeth GG Crew !!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ This week our lovely bunch of fitness fanatics and gardening gladiators headed to Landor Road Allotments to lend Valcie a helping hand - and boy, did we dig right in! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

The Tasks That Made Us Grow ๐ŸŒฟ

Our green-fingered gang tackled:

  • Weeding - We really got to the root of the problem! ๐ŸŒพ
  • Chopping - Nothing like a good chop to get the heart pumping! โœ‚๏ธ
  • Watering - Keeping things flowing smoothly ๐Ÿ’ง
  • Edging - We were really on the edge of our โ€ฆ beds! ๐ŸŒธ
  • Litter picking - Because weโ€™re absolutely rubbish at leaving a mess behind! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

The team worked so hard, you could say we were absolutely plant-astic! ๐ŸŒป

The Berry Best Part - Late Summer Social! ๐Ÿฅณ

But wait, thereโ€™s more! The real magic happened when the sun went down and the party vibes came up! Our late summer social was absolutely mint to be! ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Everyone brought something delicious to share (because good food + good people = thyme well spent! โฐ๐ŸŒฟ). We spread out under the stars for an evening picnic that was simply un-beet-able! ๐Ÿฅ—๐ŸŽต

The 90s playlist had everyone feeling nostalgic - from Blue Dabadee to Gangsters Paradise, we were grow-ving to the beat all night long! ๐ŸŽถ And yes, there may have been some questionable karaoke performances under the lamplight that had us all in stitches (the good kind, not the running kind!) ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ’ก

The Verdict ๐Ÿ†

A lovely time was had by all, and we proved once again that the best way to turnip the fun is by mixing fitness, community service, and good friends!

Until next week, keep on running and keep on growing! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Brooming Lovely!!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ What a WEED-erful evening we had with our awesome crew at Holy Trinity! ๐ŸŒฟ

Our mission commanders Nicole and Adam (fellow GGer extraordinaire) had us getting down and dirty with some serious weed warfare along the main entrance. We scraped, we pulled, we conquered those pesky pavement invaders like the gardening gladiators we are! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ

The timing couldn't have been more perfect - with a wedding happening this weekend, we made sure those happy couples won't be tripping over trip-hazards on their special day! ๐Ÿ‘ฐ๐Ÿ’’ Nothing says "I do" like a pristinely weeded walkway, am I right? ๐Ÿ˜„

Speaking of Holy matrimony - Holy Trinity is currently advertising for a new vicar! Maybe they need someone who can really "grow" their congregation? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜‰

MASSIVE shout-outs to tonight's legendary lineup: ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ Paul - who cycled in like the two-wheeled hero he is! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Fi - made her own way and absolutely smashed it! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Michael - also went solo and showed those weeds who's boss!

You could say we really... ROSE to the occasion! ๐ŸŒน The entrance looked absolutely mint when we finished - we definitely didn't let the grass grow under our feet! ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Another fantastic session in the books, team. Same thyme next week? ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒฟ

Keep running, keep doing good! GoodGym Lambeth ๐Ÿ’š
