Monday 11th November

Written by Simon Fitzmaurice

Area Activator Simon was joined by Goodgym runners Luke and Emily for a really pleasant jaunt from the Arsenal Community Hub to Thornhill Square Gardens. Together, we embraced the 1.4 mile run up to Caledonian Road, and the swift downhill towards Barnsbury.

Upon our arrival, we spotted the powerful headlamp light of Matt, directing our team over to resident gardening volunteer expert, Anna. Wheelbarrows, spades and forks had been set out specially for our arrival.

Our task for the evening involved clearing out some really hardy and quick growing grass from a collection of flowerbeds across the park. Forks and shovels were required to dig out the stubborn roots remaining in the ground before removing these very tall shoots. Alongside this job, we also helped with weeding a memorial garden on the south side of Thornhill Square, ready for fresh manure and compost to be added before the new year. I expect we will be planting some new bulbs here soon!

We were thrilled to hear that Thornhill Square Gardens had won the Gold Award for Best Park for the Islington Together awards last month. Well deserved considering the care and attention offered by this active community group! Congratulations!

Carpet Diem

Monday 4th November

Written by Simon Fitzmaurice

Goodgym Islington were invited to a new task this evening - always a joy to receive a referral for our help! The crew met up on Holloway Road to catch up before meeting up with Sandy, one of the key helpers at Pollard Close Allotments (great job to Alison and Caitlin for helping in Kentish Town, and to Matt for assisting in Thornhill Square last weekend).

Together we were led through a wiggly pedestrianised passage over to a nondescript metal door. On the other side was a hidden collection of 28 allotment beds formed out of a former car-park next to an electric substation- amazing! Sandy showed us over to a large couple of composting bins, ready to cultivate new soil for planting in Spring. Our task for the night was to make a start on moving all of the freshly rotted compost into builder's merchant bags, and to tip the semi-rotted compost into a new bin- keeping a rotation in motion. The plan is to encourage the rest of the local gardeners to complete the job, after making a solid start this evening.

The team did a smashing job of digging out the compost as best they could- while also finding huge spiders, brightly coloured millipedes, parsnips, russet potatoes and swathes of carpet lodged in between the soil and mulch. All of the vegetables were collected up and distributed between the group for roast dinner additions and winter stews. Within 45 minutes, we successfully filled 1 and a half tonne bags of new compost, ready for planting.

An excellent job well done on a Monday evening- great stuff!

Gnome is Where the Heart Is

Thursday 31st October

Written by Gill (She/her)

I usually Volunteer in Luton, but today as I had time to spare between a morning and evening appointment I decided to nip over to Islington for a mission. I was greeted warmly by Mrs E who immediately offered me tea or coffee. I advised her that she would be best to wait until I’d actually done some work. So I soon got stuck into weeding her patio garden, scraping moss and sweeping up leaves while being supervised by her large but friendly garden gnomes. After an hour or so , Mrs E decided that I had done a good job so far and rewarded me with a cuppa some chocolate too. I finished tidying up the last of the leaves and was ready to head off. Lots of smiles from Mrs E and her gnomes.

All worked out...

Tuesday 29th October

Written by Nick Moore

Today's heavy lifting session/furniture shifting mission for Mr J involved a decent mix of perspiration and inspiration for Ramon and I. The physical effort needed to move Mr J's armchair and (large heavy) sofa down his narrow staircase certainly made us break sweat, whilst the figuring out of how we could actually get these two items from the upstairs living room to the bin store outside gave us the occasional minor headache.

In that traditional GoodGym spirit of "well somehow these items got up here, so there must be a way to get them back down" we weren't going to be defeated, but there were more than a few times when we found ourselves jammed against the wall or ceiling with seemingly no way to progress or reverse. Thankfully a well positioned and co-ordinated shove combined with just a small turn in one direction or the other would do the trick.

It was with some relief that we finally got the sofa through the front door and out into the fresh air - from there it was all downhill to the bin store and we did let gravity do its wonderful thing, and before long we had all the furniture parked at its final destination.

When the veg you supply, is almost 1 metre high, that's a Mooli!

Monday 28th October

Written by Simon Fitzmaurice

Lift the Curfew is a campaign by This Girl Can. #LetsLiftTheCurfew highlights the concerns many women feel when getting active outdoors after dark by calling for a safer and more inclusive experience.

Area Activator Simon was thrilled to meet with a top crew of Goodgym runners and volunteers at the Arsenal Community Hub last night, and particularly grateful to be introduced to 4 first time Goodgymmers! (welcome!). Together, we performed a short warm up on the Emirates Stadium slopes, before running 1 mile together up Highbury Hill, and back down to Elizabeth House Community Food Hub on Hurlock Street.

Elizabeth House offer an incredible resource for residents in Islington, Highbury and Finsbury Park. Affordable food and produce donated from stores and growing projects across the city and available to local people and families. The hub operates as a walk-in supermarket, allowing visitors to pick out their choice of food and essentials. However, a lot of regulars are unable to physically attend the food hub during school holidays and breaks, so Goodgym are happy to assist with deliveries on foot!

We had a couple of deliveries, typically performed on a cargo bike, located about 1 km away from the hub. These were completed by two top groups who were up for a bit of orienteering to find the correct houses for these important parcels. The rest of our team helped with some speedy deliveries around the Twyford House estates before returning back to Elizabeth House.

For the remainder of the evening, our crew helped with closing down the food hub, ready for kid's club the next day. Any non-perishable food and items were brought back to the storage cupboards, and all surfaces were cleaned up. Our next task involved separating the fresh fruit and vegetables (including amazingly varied food like samphire, alfalfa shoots and mooli radishes!) into good quality stock or overly ripe produce. The softer stuff was then taken to a compost bin outside, ready to be used for more growing projects.

Tables and chairs were packed away, crates were returned to their original spots and all of the floors were spotless by the time we finished. Well done everyone- we hope to return for more assistance over the busy Christmas period too!
