Camden Report written by Paul Bown

22 DMCS ran 5.8km to help Coram Fields collect up 58 bags of leaves!

Thank you for coming along to the GoodGymĂ—DMCS Run - there was a massive 22 of us!

A bit about GoodGym, our mission is to help our communities with physical tasks and reduce loneliness through projects with older persons. There are three ways of doing good with us:

  1. First way is a group run, which you went on last night. As a group we meet in 45 areas around the UK on a weekly basis, we run to local charity do something physical for 30 minutes and run back.
  2. Missions - these are one off and happen with 2-4 people, the idea is to help older persons in their home with something like setting up a hospital bed, moving furniture or gardening.
  3. Coach Running - this is where you go visit an old isolated person once a week to have a chat and keep them company.

Back to what we did last night, after a quick warm up we headed along the river for some park running before heading north to the Strand and passed the busy Holborn station.

After a steady 3k run we arrived at Coram Fields, a 7 acre space which provides activities and space for young people. We met the wonderful Operations Manager Heng who told us our task for the evening was to clear and collect as many leaves as possible. With over 40 trees on the plot there is always going to be lots to do at this time of year.

Splitting into teams of 2-3 people we spread out and covered as much area as possible. While one person swept up small and large piles of leaves and then another collected them in bin bags.

All the leaves!

Over the course of 30 minutes everyone worked really hard - collecting a huge 58 bags of leaves - that's over 11 hours work for one person - amazing!

After taking a group picture we headed south and downhill home, dodging commuters and racing through the parks.
