Tonight, we went to Salvation Army in Nunhead to help Polis move some donations from the attic to a second storage location. The items were mostly furniture, often bulky and sometimes strange. We worked as a team and managed to move everything super quickly to create a wobbly mountain of things. Hopefully the items will find a permanent home one day!

Daryl and I helped out Barbara and Marie setup the SE5 Forum market stall. Quick 30 minutes to put up the gazebo, set out the tables and items to sell.

On Wednesday, we went to Alberta Estate to help out. But firstly, we had to get there, which was a challenge in itself!

We met at Old Spike, Rosalind was first to arrive. Daryl brought his friend, newbie, Ryan (welcome!). And Benjamin, Gemma David, Sam, Cecilia and Mansur came for the run also. After a quick warm up, we started the almost 5k run towards Walworth Road. Due to the power of technology, Isaac met us en-route. Then we found Will, Rosemary, Jessie and Andrada when we arrived at Alberta Estate.

With our team now assembled, our task was to move some soil from two compost heaps, into a plot around the corner. With 15 of us, it was hard to know how to get started! But in usual Goodgym fashion, we quickly organised ourselves into smaller groups, one group at the compost heap, another group at the end location, and a few groups shuttling soil in between.

After 30 minutes we had moved over half of the soil - enough to make space on the heap for some new compost that was coming fresh from the barrel. And before we knew it, we were tidying up, taking the group photo, and saying goodbye before our run back.

We ran back as the sun was setting. Unfortunately Ben's injured knee flared up and so he hopped onto a Lime bike, beating us back by 10 minutes. After a cool-down and some community led stretches, it was time for pizza and pub. Great work team!
