Report written by Nicky Woodall (she/her)
28 excellent runners met at Papa's Park and braved the rain to support two brilliant community organisations - what better way to spend BONFIRE NIGHT?!
We welcomed Andy and Tony to their first run with us and then heard about all the fun things coming up in the GoodGym universe:
Onto tonight - George led a warm-up in the basketball court before splitting into groups to complete our task.
David and Charlotte led a brisker group up the hill to Cressingham Gardens Estate. Victoria and Tim led a more relaxed group in the same directions. Both groups were delivering flyers for the brilliant Advocacy Academy who have made a film with people from Cressingham Gardens and are inviting residents to attend the screenings. The film is called We the people and is about past, present and future of activism in Brixton, which sounds cool.
Meanwhile, Jim, Sam and I led another group of flyer-ers to Herne Hill where we were telling people about Repowering. This great organisation are installing solar panels in two local primary schools and encouraging local people to invest in shares to tackle climate change and benefit the community - DOUBLE WINNER!
Each group swiftly delivered their flyers so we headed back to base for some quick fitness (aka circuits) before enjoying some DELICIOUS BISCUITS baked by Tessa and Charlotte. YUM.
Join us next week for a new task (exciting stuff) and more baking.
