13 Hours of Work + Kentish Town + Summer Feels Close!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

13 inspiring GoodGym folk made a wonderful difference in Kentish Town last night!

Some people can distinguish a grass from a weed and a weed from a flower. I am not one of these people.

But many of these intelligent beings... everyone apart from me... were present in our special group!

Our group in red ๐Ÿ‘‰ Alison, Danny (on their first good deed - hello!), Helen, Imogen, Jackie, John, Majid (on their first good deed - huge welcome!), Sarah, Siobhan, Steve, and Will ๐Ÿ‘‰ arrived in Kentish Town (not far from the Prime Minister's house!) to meet the wonderful Hilda (who was also on their first good deed!!) ๐Ÿ‘‰ and we were there to help her cultivate a healthy hedgerow ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ’š

I watched in awe as this group identified the 'keeps' from the 'get-rids' while also sharing stories and connecting. The weeds were piled โ€“ bag upon bag โ€“ and the remaining wild flowers and bushes noticeably started to breathe. And I resorted to taking photos and walking up and down in an attempt to look busy.

Across 60 bright evening minutes this group opened space in the hedgerow โ€“ and the fruits of their efforts will carry through into June and beyond โ€“ this would have taken a single soul 13 hours to match!

Thank you so much, everyone, for a well-spent evening โ˜บ๏ธ

Here's to next time!

Camden Town + Freshly Cut Mint + One Lovely Evening ๐ŸŒฟ

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

Why does sweeping never end with just sweeping?

This is my experience of GoodGym...

"...yeah โ€“ that sounds about right โ€“ maybe just start with some sweeping over there..."

...and before you know it... you've built a gazebo or painted a bench!

Just sweeping was how our wonderful group โ€“ of Charlie, Danny, Emily, Gosia, Gus, Imogen, John, Michael, and Steve โ€“ started at the beautiful Cecil Sharp House on Wednesday evening.

In perfect May sun, sweeping strewn leaves is a good place to start โ€“ I even thought perhaps it really will just be sweeping โ€“ but then...

... Emily grabbed a hose and started dousing the (bountiful) flower beds around the house โ€“ I even flowers inch their heads towards the flowing water, and then...

...Charlie, Danny, Gus, Imogen, and John descended on a pile of... well, I'm not too sure what it was really โ€“ wooden crates, fallen branches, cut ivy โ€“ a pile of things that needed discarding! I turned my back and before I knew it... the van's boot was cleared, the crates had been snapped, and everything had been tidily bagged up! And then...

...seemingly everyone was busy planting seeds (all manner of wonderful flowers) in a row of planters! And not to forget...

...the sweeping that everyone started with... that was all finished too :)

And we finished off by cutting some fresh mint (all gifted to us by our brilliant host, Susannah) to take home โ€“ very wonderful!

Amazing work, everyone! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Kentish Town + More Green Bags Than You Can Imagine! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP...

...what's that, we all said...

...BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP...

...it's a fire alarm, we all realised as we arrived at Ashdown Crescent Sheltered Housing yesterday evening...

...IT'S BEING SORTED...

...we were assured โ€“ which it safely was โ€“ just as our wonderful group (of Celine, Danny, Hanry, Helen, Emilie, John, Justine, Siobhan, and Steve) got going with multiple tasks in Ashdown's special communal gardens!

Emilie, John, and Siobhan cracked a thirty minute miracle turning an overgrown patio into a serene space to relax - amazing!

Justine and Danny seemed to be constantly filling green bags โ€“ they captured weeds, trimmings, and other debris โ€“ and their efforts transformed the main entrance way into a space to enjoy - wonderful!

And Celine, Hanry, Helen, and Steve must have dabbled in a little magic to make the difference they did - tired and dead-wood filled planters ended up pruned, spruced, and planted with seeds and blubs - magical!

Thank you so much, everyone! Here's to next time!

Belsize Community Library + Twilight Evening!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

"Weโ€™ll be running through Camden Town" โ€“ I said โ€“ "the sidewalks may be heaving" โ€“ I warned...

...but little did I know that Camden is trialling pedestrianisation!

And so our wonderful group sped through quiet (and) wide (and) spacious roads on our way to Belsize Community Library!

This lovely group โ€“ of Alex, Alison, John, Steve, and Will โ€“ got quickly to our evening tasks.

Alex, Alison, John, and Steve grabbed window cleaning spray, cloths, and (the magically named) squeegees โ€“ and they brought transparency to windows that were opaque with grime and dust.

At the same time, Will and Alex M hunted for litter and dust behind the sofas and on the shelves, removing everything with the help of every cleanerโ€™s friend: the Henry Hoover

Thank you, everyone! You made a lovely difference! And you turned a normal evening into one filled with community!
