Chaotic? Sometimes. A challenge? Definitely. Effective? Always!

Tasks can sometimes leave us scratching our head about the best way to execute them, and often they test our muscles and spatial awareness. But one thing is for sure, they always make a positive difference!

This was definitely the case last night when we returned to Waste Not Want Not to help Hadas rearrange the zero waste hub so that it can be used as a healthy eating centre. Hadas saves good produce from being thrown away, and aims to help the local community access healthy food.

There have been several issues here recently, including the electricity being switched off for 7 weeks, so we got straight to work!

We were delighted to welcome Adam to his very first session (great to have you join us Adam!) we did our warm up and had a quick discussion about our favourite soups. Everyone had their personal faves, including leek and potato, mushroom, carrot and coriander and lentil. Yes, we tackle the hottest issues at GoodGym Wandsworth.

The first item to tick off the list was putting up the gazebo, which always seems a straightforward job...until we start assembly. Of course it didn't help that the original location wasn't quite the right spot, so much to the bemusement of passers by we hoisted it up over the heads of the commuters and repositioned it.

Next was to rearrange the cookers and other (extremely heavy) items in the hub itself. Suffice to say it took masses of energy, some strategic thinking and a lot of manoeuvring but we got there in the end.

We finished off with sorting stuff into various boxes, which turned up some interesting discoveries - most notably a flame thrower!

Hadas was really pleased with the new lay out, and hopefully it means the centre will be back up and running before long.

The evening wasn't quite over as we still had our fitness session to do, which soon got competitive! There were definitely some tactics at play as we tested each other on how many squats, press ups and steps up we could complete.

Next week I'm just waiting to conform the task but you can still sign up for it right here. Hope to see you there!
