We absolutely love welcoming new faces to GoodGym, so it was a total pleasure to have Emma and Duran along to their first session - great to have you join us!

We were back at a much loved community centre in the middle of an estate near Vauxhall. It is used for support groups, residents' celebrations and classes, but it has been in need of a glow up for some time. The residents association asked for our help and we have had been there for two previous sessions to give it a good lick of paint.

The end was in sight - there was only one wall to give a first coat and the rest needed its second coat. So we wasted no time grabbing brushes and getting to work. Kamil and Emily took on one massive wall, while Martin and Duran both tackled some technical areas. There was plenty of chat about upcoming races, why missions are so rewarding, countries who have changed the legal side of the road for cars, and...lime bikes!

Before we knew it the time had flown by - and we were tantalisingly close. One more session and the transformation will be complete. Great work everybody.

Apologies for the spectacular photo fail of our huge job from me - I must have been distracted by the transformation (or paint fumes?!) to take any more exciting snaps than one of a beige wall!

Will be having a session every single Tuesday evening at different community organisations across Westminster, so watch this space for the next one (I'm away next Tuesday, but normal service will be resumed the week after!
