Today I assisted the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre foodbank regular volunteers with two afternoon deliveries from Tesco. I also donated my mountain bike with bike accessories, and several bottles of wines to help them raise much needed funds at their community christmas party on Friday 12th December 2025.

Spent a few hours on logistics and preparation for the festive season delivery schedule. Tasks mainly involved sorting, packing, and staging items for distribution. All necessary items are prepared and organised for tomorrow’s scheduled deliveries. Members' attendance ensured all targets for the day were met efficiently.

Great session with fab leaders, really felt like I was making a difference and will be back to help.

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report 🏃‍♀️💪

This week we were off to Holy Trinity Church to help Nicole with our final festive fix-up of the year - and boy, did we move things along! 🎄

The Mission: Operation Party Prep 🎉

Our task? A classic case of shift-and-shuffle as we helped clear space under HT for this weekend's celebrations. We moved items into storage faster than you can say "Good-Gym-nastics!" 💪🏼

With boxes relocated and clutter conquered, the space was transformed from storage chaos to party paradise. Talk about a moving experience! 📦✨

But Wait, There's More! 🏃‍♂️💨

Now for the really important bit - we had somewhere to be, and fast! Our end of year social and quiz was calling, and we weren't about to miss out on our chance to show off our big brains alongside those big biceps. 🧠💪

Quiz Night Spectacular! 🎊🍾

Our lovely group gathered for an epic battle of the minds (and puns) featuring: - 5 quiz rounds mixing GoodGym trivia with general knowledge 🤓 - A mystery challenge round that had everyone scratching their heads - Plenty of not-so-serious shenanigans and creative chaos 😂

In the end, it was the Big Ballerz who took home the glory! 🏆 But as the old game show wisdom goes: "Everyone was a Winner!" (Especially when there's good company, great laughs, and possibly some festive treats involved) 😊

A Huge Thank You! 🙏❤️

What a year it's been! Your dedication, energy, and enthusiasm have been absolutely invaluable. We couldn't do what we do without this incredible community of do-gooders and fitness enthusiasts.

We've got ONE more group session before we take a short festive break, then it's onwards and upwards into 2026! 🚀

See you at the next one! 👟✨

Remember: We don't just run the town, we help it run better!
