Another Tuesday, another wonderful evening of doing good and getting fit! This week, we returned to the Care4Calais' East London storage facility, continuing our mission to transform a mountain of generous donations into neatly sorted boxes of clothing, ready to reach those who need them most.

Thanks to our collective efforts over the past few sessions, we’ve made some serious headway—what once resembled a fabric avalanche is now an increasingly organised space. This week saw more great sartorial discoveries, with some standout pieces that would make even the most seasoned thrifters jealous!

Of course, no GoodGym session would be complete without our Random Weekly Question. Courtesy of Graham, we asked: What’s your favourite game? The responses were as varied as ever, ranging from the classic (tennis, football) to the less conventional (Sushi Go, Ticket to Tobago, Frogger and the intense long-term activity of trying to complete the parkrun app).

A huge well done to everyone who came along and put in the hard work. See you next time for more running and doing good - I think we've got a task lined up at Chandos Rd, details to emerge in due course...

It was a pretty fresh morning on London Fields and with the beginning of half term numbers were low. That said the ever dependable Nick and DoE volunteer Zach meant that there was a great core team before we dragooned a few parents into helping out so we would be able to put the run on. Luckily Alfred's family were in attendance in numbers and were able to marshal the far reaches and see their son romp home in first place with a clear lead. Running her own race and in fierce competition Sasha came in as first woman splitting Conor and Gabriel. Freya had an epic finish having dragged her dad, the tail walker around. By 9:30 we were all packed up and keen to get somewhere warm. Huge thanks to the Lido staff for letting me sit in the warm and process the results.

Sam and I entertained ourselves whilst building Mr A's metal bed frame today with tales of previous bed related missions we've been involved in across various random parts of London - thankfully Mr A's bed making task will be memorable for (a) being exactly as described on the tin, with all the parts correctly labelled and provided, easy to follow instructions, a correctly sized Allen key, and the right amount of screws, washers and little plastic plugs to lock the slats in place, and (b) Mr A, who's English is limited, taking the time, once we'd completed the task, to compose and then translate a short thank you message on his phone for our efforts.
