Greenwich Report written by Rachel Henry
What a beautiful morning to spend time with friends doing some good! Perhaps, said Jenny, it's natures way of easing us into the winter months now the clocks have gone back ☀️
After a morning where some of the team helped out with Junior Parkrun, getting very soggy socks and having a very quick tea at my flat, we joined forces and gave a welcome to Chloe for her first good deed, and Calvin who came back for more after joining the run on Wednesday! Really great to have you guys join us 😁
We shared our favourite cakes and then played a game of under and over before setting off on our 3.5km run to Mycenae Gardens.
And this was an extra special session because it was GoodGym's power couple Sarah's 350th and Johnny's 450th AND Marta's 800th! That's a lot of goodness they've brought to London - just think how many brambles they've taken out, how much litter they've picked and how many little hands they've high fived in that time! Absolutely amazing.
At Mycenae today we split into teams, one for weeding and the other for lopping branches off trees and dragging the branches down to the much loved dead hedge to keep curious children out of the wildlife protection area. Many hands make light work and before long we were packing up and having a lovely cake provided by the Friends.
All topped off with a lovely local coffee.
Excellent job team! Thanks to Calvin for the pics. On wednesday we're joining with GoodGym Bexley.
Until next time!

Tonight, the mission of 7 GoodGym-ers was delivering flyers through letterboxes, for Woolwich Food Cycle, a project helping volunteers turn food donated by local shops & businesses into delicious healthy meals for those in the community who most need them.
Special shout out to Calvin who did his first good deed this evening - it was great to have you with us Calvin and hope you'll be back soon!
We started with a wistful discussion over our favourite holiday destinations before making our way through Charlton Park and on to the Woolwich Common estate, where our task began. Our tag delivery teams quickly ran out of leaflets, admiring the houses along the way (GoodGym is great for discovering new places on your doorstep!). As always we were ready for further adventures so completed the task with a quick litter pick (thanks to Rachel for bringing the litter pick stash!).
Hope to see you all soon - next week we're teaming up with Bexley 😊
