A star-studded cast to celebrate GoodGym Greenwich's 10th Birthday!
An unseasonably mild Sunday morning greeted 18 goodgymers as we made our way to Brooklands school in Kidbrooke. Whilst the school is a little tucked away, the huge grounds provide plenty of outdoor space for the children and their families.
We joined a group of existing volunteers from the school, and were soon wheelbarrowing soil to the growing beds as well as clearing weeds. One of our target areas was an enclosure containing a pond; again involving clearing weeds, bracken and planks to free up the pond area for its proper use. Discovering a few baby dragons* added to the magic of the event, along with a confused toad and lots of ladybirds.
(* thankfully these turned out to be the non-fire breathing variety, which are Newts to us (!) They were carefully looked after by a member of the team to be returned to a safe habitat).
A busy hour soon runs out, so a final group photo provided the icing on the rake for GGG's birthday mission. Special welcome to Iyabo for your first good deed with us - and lovely that you could join us for our lunch to celebrate our birthday!
Coming up...
On Wednesday we're continuing our painting of the hall at Charlton Manor Primary School.
On Sunday we've got our (optional) group run and litter pick on Woolwich Common.
And the following Wednesday we're helping at St Richard's.
Thanks all & see you at the next task! ⭐

It was all about collaboration as 4 GoodGymers joined Clean Up Charlton and the RA 5K Litterpickers for a group walk and litterpick along the Thames Path from Charlton to Woolwich. We got our steps in AND filled 18 bags of litter!
Starting at the Anchor & Hope and doing a bit of a clean up around the front of the pub, we went past the Thames Barrier and through the old industrial estate. It's amazing what you find when you dig around in the back of the bushes - watch out for those flying cans as Ashton goes into the undergrowth to wrestle them out! SO many cans and bottles as we reached Woolwich. We could have filled several more bags but decided to call it a day and warm up with a coffee at Woolwich Works after a good 2 hours work.
