Goodgym Merton and Kingston teamed up and donned their red t.shirts in support of Dons Local Action Group (DLAG); quadrupling efforts braving the Wimbledon chill today. A perfect double date for Valentine's, spreading the GoodGym love (and leaflets!) outside Morrisons. We were keen to share the love beyond just chocolates and flowers, highlighting our community effort and volunteering opportunities with all that would listen. Our mission: to recruit new members to GoodGym Merton. As we chatted to shoppers, explaining our work and the benefits of joining the team we tried not to get caught up in the buzz of Downton Abbey free film tickets!

It was heartening to discover a few people had already heard of GoodGym. One individual who was already a member didn't know of the recently launched Merton area, so it shows the importance of getting out into the community and spreading the word!

We hope this is just the start of a great collaboration with DLAG and we will continue to share the love and make a difference in our community together. A big shout-out to Petra and Mike who were instrumental in making this possible. Happy Valentine's ❤️.
