We swapped our running shoes for a deep dive into a year's worth of GoodGym Merton video and photo evidence today. Sifting through hundreds of clips and images, it was a brilliant way to reminisce about everything we've achieved as a community of runners and do-gooders. From massive clean-up and painting sessions through numerous Parkruns to productive gardening efforts.

The resulting content will be used to mark our one-year anniversary date, and most importantly, encourage others to join our growing community.

Why not join us to mark 1 year of GoodGym Merton and you'll become part of the next great chapter?

A chilly morning didn't deter us from heading out to assist Ms S with some much-needed garden jobs.

We put the cold weather behind us and got straight to work, tackling the weeds on the patio followed by pruning various shrubs to significantly improve and clear the garden space.

Shout-out and massive congratulations to Rachael for completing her very first Mission in Merton! We made a visible difference, leaving the area feeling much neater and brighter - hope this is the first of many missions to come.
