Great to help out this social enterprise in Hackney Wick. We cleared the whole garden of leaves and collected them together to create a leafmould to be put back into growing herbs. Camila from Hackney Herbal was pleased and treated us to some teas made from the garden herbs. Well done everyone!

Me and Mehmet also managed to complete a 8k return run from Hackney Downs, maybe the longest Goodgym run we've done, finishing off with a swift drink at All Good Beer.

I picked up several helpings of soup, bread and an added pastry from the Soup Kitchen (ran by very helpful and friendly staff!) before giving a quick call ahead to the recipient to let them know I was coming.

It was straightforward to find the delivery address so after a 20 minute walk I delivered the food which was very gratefully received!

A really simple task that didn't take much time on my way home, but goes a long way to making the next few days more comfortable for someone.

Great to see a good turn out for this Saturday morning group run!

Welcome new Goodgymer Vicky and welcome back Beth!

Part of the group met at Brunswick Bakehouse for a social and scenic 3k run along the river. We arrived at the Leaside Trust, met the rest of the Goodgym team and got to work clearing what seemed like a never ending sea of leaves. We filled up the compost heap to the brim and also multiple big bags.

The Leaside Trust team were so pleased that they gave us a tour of their lovely venue and welcomed us back for canoe trips in the future. Will keep you posted. Then some of us ran back to Hackney Downs completing a 6k return trip. Well done everyone, smashed it 🔥

Goodgym teamed up with the residents of Nightingale Estate to help tidy up the communal garden for older and isolated residents. This is the first time Goodgym have helped out Oakfield Lodge and there was a massive pile of branches left in the garden which the residents had no luck getting rid of. The call was made to Goodgym and we swooped in to help alongside the resident volunteers.

Branches were sorted into piles depending on size and put in the brown bins or big bags ready for collection by the council. After an hour we managed to clear the whole space and it made a huge difference. Well done all!

We will be back in the future to add to this garden's transformation.

Four goodgymers arrived on all hallows eve to help our friends at Nightingale Estate to maintain the abandoned gardens and tidy up the flower beds. In collaboration with This Girl Can's #LetsLiftTheCurfew some of us ran to 3km to Nightingale Estate through Hackney Downs Park. After a social run we joined with the rest of the Goodgym Team and Nightingale Volunteers to start on the task. After an hour we made a big difference. Well done all!

A great turn out today to help clear the leaves at National Trust - Sutton House and Breaker's Yard! Welcome new Goodgymer Alex !

Once we were given a tour and shown the tools we got to work clearing the paths running through the garden whilst making sure not to disturb the natural habitats. We also cleared the front of the house and inner courtyard, where after we enjoyed some well deserved refreshments and had a catch up.

Well done all!
