We started the evening with lots of sweep talking, sharing something we were looking forward to over the summer months. It turns out, lots of cycling, walking, seasonal vegetables, holidays and spending time with friends. And it certainly did feel like the start of spring on a rather warm evening out and about in Greenwich.

Special shout out to John on his first GoodGym good deed! And special welcome to founder, Ivo - lovely to have you with us Ivo and come back again soon!

After a competitive game of heads, shoulders, knees and ball, we headed out for a short run along the river (always nice on a night like this) and arrived at St Mark's. This church and community centre brings 300 people in each week for lots of different activities and it surely showed a big footfall. We got to work in three teams - team 1 sweeping outside where John and I spent a while trying to reset a loose paving slab. Team two was cleaning inside, with lots of hoovering to be done. And team three was doing a spot of DIY on the door.

The time flew by as usual and the place was looking much cleaner by the time we packed up and Ashton got our his trusty tripod.

Still time for a nice drink on the way home - looking forward to more of these this summer!

Good work team.

Next week we've got a Charlton House start to continue painting at Charlton Manor Primary. Sign up here. On Saturday we're spreading woodchip at Roots4Life and on Sunday Felicity is leading a Charlton litter picking session

Until next time!
