Easy-going and friendly, I have been running on a regular basis, mainly running at parkrun.

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)
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)! ๐๏ธ
Tom from Lambeth Council gave us our marching orders: wage war on litter with the fanciest grabbers this side of the Thames. Weโre talking haute couture litter pickers, darling! ๐
Our troops split into two elite squads:
Squad 1: The Litter Legends ๐ฆธโโ๏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 ๐พ
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. ๐ช๐ผ
Shout out to our usual suspects who showed up ready to make Max Roach Park sparkle:
๐ Andrej, Dan, Tilly, Michael, Eric, and Jo ๐
Special mention to Jo, whose homemade flapjacks provided the perfect fuel for our litter-fighting endeavors. Nothing says โcommunity spiritโ quite like baked goods that actually stick to your ribs after picking up rubbish! ๐ช๐ค
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 Joโs 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 ๐
Good Deeds Done: COUNTLESS โ
Puns Made: TOO MANY ๐
Keep calm and carry on picking! See you next week, legends! ๐

This week our fantastic crew of do-gooders traded their usual pavement pounding for some serious dirt work at Brixton Windmill Allotments! ๐พ
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!
We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Andrej to his very first GoodGym session - what a way to break yourself in! Welcome to the family! ๐
Huge shoutout to Anna who arrived looking the business in her official GG running jacket - she was definitely dressed for success! ๐โโ๏ธโจ
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! ๐ฅ
Another ground-breaking session in the books! We left Annickโs allotment looking berry good indeed. Until next time, keep on running and doing good!
Keep calm and GoodGym on! ๐๐โโ๏ธ

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.

๐โโ๏ธ๐ฑ 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! ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ
Our green-fingered gang tackled:
The team worked so hard, you could say we were absolutely plant-astic! ๐ป
But wait, thereโs 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! ๐ฟโจ
Everyone brought something delicious to share (because good food + good people = thyme well spent! โฐ๐ฟ). We spread out under the stars for an evening picnic that was simply un-beet-able! ๐ฅ๐ต
The 90s playlist had everyone feeling nostalgic - from Blue Dabadee to Gangsters Paradise, we were grow-ving to the beat all night long! ๐ถ 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!) ๐ค๐ก
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! ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฑ๐

๐โโ๏ธ๐ช ๐โโ๏ธโจ What a WEED-erful evening we had with our awesome crew at Holy Trinity! ๐ฟ
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! ๐ช๐ฑ
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! ๐ฐ๐ Nothing says "I do" like a pristinely weeded walkway, am I right? ๐
Speaking of Holy matrimony - Holy Trinity is currently advertising for a new vicar! Maybe they need someone who can really "grow" their congregation? ๐๐
MASSIVE shout-outs to tonight's legendary lineup: ๐ดโโ๏ธ Paul - who cycled in like the two-wheeled hero he is! ๐โโ๏ธ Fi - made her own way and absolutely smashed it! ๐โโ๏ธ Michael - also went solo and showed those weeds who's boss!
You could say we really... ROSE to the occasion! ๐น The entrance looked absolutely mint when we finished - we definitely didn't let the grass grow under our feet! ๐ฟโจ
Another fantastic session in the books, team. Same thyme next week? ๐๐ฟ
Keep running, keep doing good! GoodGym Lambeth ๐
