Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)
Last night at GoodGym Wandsworth we had a very special double celebration - we had not one but two huge milestones to celebrate! Ladies and gentlemen of GoodGym, please put your (gloved) hands together for the wonderful Joanna and for Annabel who both did their 100th good deed last night - absolutely amazing doing good and getting active. From shifting compost, to sorting food donations, creating a GG garden, to painting community centres, they've contributed so much to their community. Great work Annabel and Jo!
We met as usual at the BAC to do our warm up and to discuss what we'd like to do, in honour of the milestones, before we're 100. The group is obviously very intrepid, as people opted for visiting all seven continents, skydiving and bungee jumping!
Our job for the evening involved less travel (although it was still a good 5km run up a long hill!) but significantly more mess. We had been asked by Balham Nursery to come and create a 'mud club' for the under fives. This was definitely our sort of task, as it involved annihilating anything in our way, and exposing as much mud as we possibly could!
Meanwhile there were some slightly cleaner tasks that did involve some heavy lifting, which Jason, Ali and Felix took care of - getting a good work out up several flights of stairs in the process!
Before long the job was done, and the headteacher was really pleased with what we had got done. here's what she had to say this morning after the kids had arrived:
A huge thank you to you and your team for all your help and hard work yesterday. The mud club is a hit and it was all made possible by you. Please extend my thanks to everyone
I think there are going to be quite a few muddy knees among the under fives of Wandsworth today!
Great work everybody. Next week we're back doing more good in the neighbourhood - hope to see you there!
We also have a mission on Saturday to help out at Doddington garden if you're free and want to kick of the weekend with a lovely outdoor session

Hounslow Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)
It was all about the wildlife in Chiswick tonight as we delivered information locally about hedgehogs underneath the beaver moon!
Wild Chiswick is an organisation which works to protect vulnerable animals in the area. There have been recent sightings of hedgehogs for the first time in years at Strand on the Green and Jo, who runs the project, wanted to make sure the population continues to grow. Our job for the night was to deliver information leaflets to houses in the area so they knew how to care for hedgehogs, improve their habitats and help them thrive!
We divided up into teams and, like the well oiled machine we are, started delivering the leaflets at impressive speed.
We were done before we knew it, so meeting back up with Jo, we posed for some photos under Justin Beaver. (thanks for the punspiration!)
Then it was back to the town hall for a short but sweet tabata session working our major muscle groups.
The good news? The task was very effective - Jo got an enquiry about creating a habitat before the evening was out! Amazing work.
We have a couple of weekend missions coming up. Fancy taking part in a huge bulb planting task at Chiswick House??
Or maybe some hedge care in Heston is up your street.
Either way you'll be kicking off the weekend doing something positive for your community and getting in a great work out!

Westminster Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)
It was fantastic to welcome Claudia to her very first task last night - great to have you join us! It was also a pleasure to have GG record breaker John back in Westminster, and to see Jacquie and Kamil for our session too.
It was our return trip to St Andrew's last night - little did we know that we'd get a task that truly put us through our paces!
The brief - move six heavy tables from the garage to the storage area. The challenge - the stairs! And not to only that, but these tables were heavy. Really heavy!
Not to be deterred, we happily shifted the bases first. This did involve some technical corner based manoeuvering but didn't pose too much of a problem.Then came the table tops! This was the true work out for the evening.
First one went up - tough but not too bad. Then the second one came and we had a stroke of luck with two gym goers willing to give us a hand. Unfortunately their good will only last the space of one journey, so the last four were left to us. Muscles engaged, we lifted, shifted and pivoted until all the tables were safely in their new home. What a test of endurance! Adrian, who runs the club was really pleased we managed the task, one that he said they would have struggled to make happen - so great work everybody.
Next Tuesday we will have another session - I"m just confirming exactly what it will be so watch this space but hope to see you then!

Good to see you again Ana, and to meet Claudia and Kamil. That was one of my hardest ever tasks
