A great start to the October. It was lovely to see the walker, joggers and runners at Hove Park and cheering them along on this bright windy morning!
Sunday 7th September
Olivia Powell (She/Her/Hers) run a race with GoodGym for the first time.
Olivia has done their first race with GoodGym. Performing on the day is a lot of pressure; Olivia's dealt with the nerves and turned up on the day to make it happen.

I got marshaled in my usual spot at Hove Park. It was a good morning cheering on the awesome walker, joggers and runners. I even got to cheer on a fellow Goodgymer!

A lovely morning cheering on the walkers/joggers and runners at Hove Park. I definitely have a spot now. I'm grateful for the kind words from people, apparently I have a good smile!

We had a great turnout of runners, with 10 of us meeting at the Peace Statue and running to the task. Two others cycled to the site, and three more met us directly there, making a fantastic group of 14 ready to get to work. We welcomed new member Susie, and Charli returning for her second session, to the team.
We were helping out at St Thomas Fund, a residential rehabilitation service in Brighton & Hove run by the charity Change Grow Live. They offer a safe space for adults on their journey to becoming free of drugs and alcohol. Sean, who welcomed us, gave a fantastic introduction to the organisation, the site and their mission, explaining that our task was to transform a bindweed-covered area into a usable space for yoga and meditation.
The area was completely carpeted in weeds. We even found a rake that the tenacious bindweed had tried to consume! We had a laugh wondering how long you'd have to sunbathe before it took you over, too. But the team, including Sean, with tools and gloves provided by St Thomas Fund, made short work of it.
Nicola and Sarah did a particularly fantastic job of rescuing a fig tree from the grip of the bindweed. By the end of the session, the whole area looked transformed. You could see the soil in the beds again, and we filled somewhere between 10 and 20 bags with weeds and rubbish.
Sean seemed to be really happy with what we achieved, emphasizing how the collective effort of so many volunteers can make a huge difference in a short amount of time. It was a great feeling to see the space ready for residents to use for peaceful activities. A big thank you to Sean and St Thomas Fund for having us.

Gorgeous feedback from the task owner: โThank you so much for all your support with the garden, itโs looking absolutely amazing!โ And โThe residents were overjoyed with the results, and I share their excitement. We now have a usable garden, which will make a real difference to everyone here.โ ๐ฅฐ
