Two GoodGymers spent the morning volunteering at Modern Parkrun by guiding and cheering runners, and ensuring everything ran smoothly and safely. Their enthusiasm brought extra energy to the event, supported participants of all ages, and strengthened the link between GoodGym and the local community while enjoying a great start to the weekend.

A callout for volunteers at Merton's Community Fridge was answered by our dedicated GoodGym members. They tackled the post-distribution clean-up dealing first with the numerous boxes. A sudden downpour added a new challenge with some strategic "rain-dodging" to get everything into the bins. But a little rain can't dampen our spirit - we got it done!

Three regulars helped out at Merton's Community Fridge tonight, working tirelessly, giving crates and boxes a much-needed scrub, and sorting through a mountain of rubbish. It was a fantastic effort, and thanks to their hard work, the Fridge and recycling bin is sorted and ready for the next session 🤞.

A call out to GoodGym volunteers rumbled up some enthusiastic members to help boost Morden Parkrun this morning! We had a fantastic time supporting the event, helping with everything from set-up and marshalling to guiding runners through the funnel and even token sorting. It was a great way to start the weekend. The morning was made even better with a little shout-out during the briefing, 2 team members running and 1 PB - well done team!

Tonight, we helped out at Merton's Community Fridge with the post-distribution clean-up, and what a refreshing session it was! It was brilliant to see so many familiar faces back in action, and a huge welcome to Suja, who joined us for a trial after only recently hearing about us. Everyone pitched in, and we absolutely smashed through the jobs, leaving the Fridge sparkling tidy, as always! 💪 Great work, team!

Extra Goodgymers attended Merton's Community Fridge to help with the post-distribution clean-up today. The earlier start time allowed for some prep work, but there was still plenty to do, including a vital mission to fix the bin sign! It was a satisfying session despite a few changes to the way things were done.

Our regular visits helping with the post distribution clean-up are making a difference week by week. Today was a perfectly warm evening, ideal for getting an extra pair of hands along (thank you Steve!) after work to help. Peter and Rhian were also there following the distribution to help with sorting the crates outside, giving the fridges a proper clean, and cleaning/tidying boxes. Once hoovered we made sure everything was back in it's place ready for the next distribution.

There was just time for Steve to firm up details for helping at a distribution session later this month - and we are back for the group session on Wednesday 25th June to deep clean the storage area and help remove a partition wall, so sign up and get involved if you can: Https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/help-with-deep-cleaning-at-merton-s-community-fridge
