31 Goodgymers ran 6km to help Sheltered Housing at Ashdown Crescent

Welcome along to newbies this week Madeleine, Rachael, Natalie and Matt :)

In the news this week:

  1. It's the GoodGym Olympics next Saturday, if you have entered events you should have received an email from Lord Benson (tomb@goodgym.org). Everyone should come watch, have a picnic and a cheer!
  2. Kat is organising track sessions at Regents Park Track every Thursday, meet for 6.30pm and start the session at 6.45pm. Go along!

This week we had a wonderful task up in Kentish Town - helping Sheltered Housing at Ashdown Crescent. This project helps look after older people in the community, they have a great big garden space but it needs care and attention. That's where we come in.

Impact

Splitting into teams we got the following done:

  1. We put together two tables and eight chairs for the residents to use to sit out on. The guys did well with limited tools!
  2. The Steve's and Liz got to work cutting back the trees and bushes overgrowing onto the pathway.
  3. A team of 6 swept the pathway and deck - collecting together bags of debris!
  4. A team of 10 weeded a huge area and then planted some big plants, small plants and some lovely bulbs :)
  5. A team of 4 helped out on two resident's balconies with various garden jobs

You guys really made an impact tonight - well done all! #proud
