Camden Report written by Paul Bown
A massive 54 people ran 8km and shifted 16 tonnes of crushed concrete for Grounded Ecotherapy at Southbank!
Wow that was amazing! What a night! Welcome to newbies Ludovica, Becca and Jane - what a night to come for your first time!
In the news this week:
- Well done to everyone who ran, raced and cheered the Big Half on Sunday - GoodGym even made the official video!
- It's the GG Monthly Drinks at the Greenwich Tavern TODAY, come along for puns, fun and Pritesh shouting haha!
It was a cracking evening to be a GoodGymer as 54 of us descended upon the Thames for our annual trip to help Grounded Ecotherapy at the Southbank Centre and escape Camden, through Westminster and into Lambeth - hehe. The lights of the river and central was beautiful - a rare sight seeing so many red shirts bouncing over Waterloo Bridge.
16 tonnes!
Grounded Ecotherapy is an amazing organisation, and they are one of London's most unique horticultural therapy projects - they help their members who have suffered mental health, substance misuse issues or experience of homelessness, to get back on their feet.
Our task for the evening was to shift 16 tonnes of crushed concrete into the Queen Elizabeth Hall to help create a a newly commissioned Atrium in the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Getting into pairs, we shovelled 6 spades worth of concrete into each bag and followed a route set by the wonderful Paul (bigger beard) before emptying the contents into a pile that will be spread to create the piece opening at the end of March.
50 minutes x 54 GGers = day's worth of work!
It took 50 minutes and 54 GG Camden runners but we got the job done. It was hard, it was physical but man you guys did well. It was pretty non-stop with lots of pulling, lifting and emptying.
Upon hearing all the amazing work Grounded are doing at Southbank we headed home for a well earnt stretch and pint.
Well done everyone - what a night!
Next week we have 3 tasks helping 4 charities in CAMDEN - sign up here.
PB out.

Newham Report written by Brahma Pochee
Cold spitting rain and an early Saturday start wasn't enough to scare off 8 lively goodgymers. The Holy trinity and or triple decker indulgence of parkrun, a task and breakfast was just too good to miss!
Some lovely hard efforts at Hackney Marshes Parkrun. Including another massive PB for Tim, a terrific 3min PB for Ruth, a low 18mins for Dan the Man, a sub 30 for Alice, a 22 on the nose for big Dave, and a tidy 28mins for Beth and also Alice. They both joined for their first GoodGym Newham run, Alice's first GoodGym deed too! Pleasure to have you along. Jumped straight in a the deep end, with a 5k race warm up before the task!
We jogged an easy kilometer over to the task. Had a quick chat with the lovely Ange, she runs the kid's playground. Then got to clearing a large overgrown section for a wildflower meadow. Digging, raking, pulling, shearing, cutting... a solid 40mins later and a beautiful clear patch had been exposed. Reckon it might need a touch more work, when we head there this week, but an excellent start.
To reward our obedient muscles we made our way to The Breakfast Club, finishing our morning efforts with some superb recovery grub.
Thanks for all your efforts, was great to have two (one complete) newbie along!
See you all on Wednesday for a return trip to the Playground, sign up here here
