A Clean Sweepโ€ฆ Well, Sort Of!!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

This week, our magnificent crew of do-gooders traded their usual running routes for a different kind of marathon - the Great Garage Clear-Out of 2025! ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿš๏ธ

We descended upon Myatts Fields to help Kim with a mission that would make Marie Kondo sweat: shifting a lifetime's worth of treasures (and let's be honest, some questionable "I'll definitely use this someday" items) from her Hackney collection out into the daylight for inventory! โ˜€๏ธ

The Task-master Lineup:

๐ŸŒŸ Fabian - Our brilliant newbie made their debut and swept us off our feet (literally - they were on broom duty)! Welcome to the gang, Fabian - you really cleaned up on your first mission! ๐Ÿงนโœจ

๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ The Usual Suspects: Ben, Michael, Dan, Paul, and Patrick brought their A-game, grabbing, sorting, and stacking like a well-oiled (albeit slightly dusty) machine!

๐Ÿฐ Adam - Our knight in shining apron stepped up when tragedy struck the Bake Off tent (no baker = no bakes ๐Ÿ˜ฑ). This absolute legend whipped up a gluten-free fruit cake AND brought Tupperware for transport. Adam, you really take the biscuit! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ‘‘

Mission Highlights: - โœ… Sorted everything into neat categories (playing real-life Tetris with decades of memories!) - โœ… Gave the garage a thorough sweep (though we're pretty sure the dust declared victory and staged a comeback) ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’จ - โœ… Proved that many hands make light work (even when that work involves heavy boxes!)

Another cracking evening of fitness, teamwork, and community spirit! Who knew cardio could involve this much carrying? ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜„

Same time next week, GoodGym heroes? ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Getting fit, doing good, and occasionally getting dusty โœจ

Ben Margerison completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.

Ben has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

Weed โ€™Em and Weep: A Tail of Barrows and Heroesโ€ ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ˜ข

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

Agnes Riley Gardens - Pond Weed Warriors!

This week, our magnificent GoodGymers wheely outdid themselves at Agnes Riley Gardens! ๐Ÿ’š

We joined forces with Harriet and the Friends of the Gardens for some serious pond-to-compost action. The mission? Transport mountains of freshly dredged pond weeds to their final resting place. It was time to get mucky! ๐ŸŒฟ

The Dream Team ๐Ÿ‘

A huge welcome to our fabulous first-timers Omkar and Bill - you absolutely smashed it! We hope this is just the beginning of your GoodGym journey. Youโ€™ve set the bar-row very high! ๐ŸŽ‰

Our legendary regulars were back and better than ever: Ben, Perdie, Fi, Adam, and the amazing Tilly, who blessed us all with her heavenly brownies and meringue cookies (because nothing says โ€œwell doneโ€ like sugar and carbs after manual labour!). ๐Ÿช๐ŸคŽ

The Task ๐Ÿ’ช

Armed with garden forks, spades, and brooms, we got straight to work loading up our trusty wheelbarrows - affectionately dubbed Barrow Obama, Wheeliam Shakespeare, and Scarlett Jobarrowson - and sprinted them over to the compost heap. It was basically CrossFit meets gardening, and we were here for it!

Special Guest Appearance ๐ŸฆŽ

Mid-mission, we discovered an adorable pond newt (now officially named Isaac Newt-on) chilling in the weeds. After a brief photoshoot, Sir Newt-on was safely returned to his watery kingdom. Long may he reign! ๐Ÿ‘‘

The Verdict โœจ

Another fantastic evening of fitness, friendship, and freshly cleared ponds! The gardens are looking gorgeous, our legs got a serious workout, and we all left with muddy trainers and massive smiles.

Until next week, GoodGymers! Keep running, keep doing good! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

A Manure-ficent Adventure! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

Mission: Brixton Windmill Allotments Support

This week our fantastic crew of do-gooders traded their usual pavement pounding for some serious dirt work at Brixton Windmill Allotments! ๐ŸŒพ

The Mission Brief ๐Ÿ“‹

Our wonderful community member Annick needed a helping hand (or seven!) with some essential gardening tasks. We were ready to get our hands dirty - literally!

What We Got Up To ๐Ÿ’ช

  • Manure Madness: We shovelled mountains of the good stuff into wheelbarrows. It was a crappy job, but someone had to do it! ๐Ÿ’ฉ
  • Spreading the Love: Distributed said manure across the planting patches and bathtub garden - talk about fertilizing friendships! ๐ŸŒฑ
  • Apple-solutely Essential Work: Collected apples for both composting and juicing. We really apple-ied ourselves to the task! ๐ŸŽ

Star Performers โญ

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Andrej to his very first GoodGym session - what a way to break yourself in! Welcome to the family! ๐ŸŽ‰

Huge shoutout to Anna who arrived looking the business in her official GG running jacket - she was definitely dressed for success! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

And of course, our regular dream team was out in full force: Katie, Ben, and Michael - you legends never fail to turnip when we need you! ๐Ÿฅ•

The Verdict ๐Ÿ†

Another ground-breaking session in the books! We left Annickโ€™s allotment looking berry good indeed. Until next time, keep on running and doing good!

Keep calm and GoodGym on! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

A Blooming Lovely Evening with Lambeth GG Crew !!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ This week our lovely bunch of fitness fanatics and gardening gladiators headed to Landor Road Allotments to lend Valcie a helping hand - and boy, did we dig right in! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

The Tasks That Made Us Grow ๐ŸŒฟ

Our green-fingered gang tackled:

  • Weeding - We really got to the root of the problem! ๐ŸŒพ
  • Chopping - Nothing like a good chop to get the heart pumping! โœ‚๏ธ
  • Watering - Keeping things flowing smoothly ๐Ÿ’ง
  • Edging - We were really on the edge of our โ€ฆ beds! ๐ŸŒธ
  • Litter picking - Because weโ€™re absolutely rubbish at leaving a mess behind! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

The team worked so hard, you could say we were absolutely plant-astic! ๐ŸŒป

The Berry Best Part - Late Summer Social! ๐Ÿฅณ

But wait, thereโ€™s more! The real magic happened when the sun went down and the party vibes came up! Our late summer social was absolutely mint to be! ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Everyone brought something delicious to share (because good food + good people = thyme well spent! โฐ๐ŸŒฟ). We spread out under the stars for an evening picnic that was simply un-beet-able! ๐Ÿฅ—๐ŸŽต

The 90s playlist had everyone feeling nostalgic - from Blue Dabadee to Gangsters Paradise, we were grow-ving to the beat all night long! ๐ŸŽถ And yes, there may have been some questionable karaoke performances under the lamplight that had us all in stitches (the good kind, not the running kind!) ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ’ก

The Verdict ๐Ÿ†

A lovely time was had by all, and we proved once again that the best way to turnip the fun is by mixing fitness, community service, and good friends!

Until next week, keep on running and keep on growing! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š
