Another Sunday afternoon in Goodgym Wandsworth to deliver food for Jags in Brixton, but totally different weather. Last weekend its was wet wet wet, but not today which means I stayed dry!! Collected the lovely food then went to deliver hot meals to my usual flats in the area and it brings a smile to them when I knock at their door. Took the opportunity to get more street art in Brixton

Volunteers really went out on a limb at Woodfield Pavilion, rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in to some poplar planting with true grit (and plenty of dirt). From digging holes that were un-be-leaf-ably stubborn, to carefully planting young saplings and building sturdy protection barriers, the team proved they’re a cut above when it comes to growing good things for the future. It was a hands-on, down-to-earth effort that will help these trees branch out safely for years to come — a solid day’s work that definitely deserves a round of a-trees-iation.

We had some amazing milestones to celebrate last night, with Ali earning her GoodGym wings by doing an incredible 100 good deeds, and Jordan getting to 300 good deeds. Such an achievement making a really big difference in Wandsworth - give them a cheer! And while you're at it, please put your hands together for Catherine and Jack who both came along for their first GoodGym session - brilliant to have you both join us.

We started off the night with a warm up and a reminder about this session coming up on Saturday. This is a big task and we really need some more helping hands -it's going to be a great workout and one that has a big impact at a local nursery school.

After a short run down to Doddington, we were met by Malissa, who divided us up into groups and got the tasks underway. From strawberry snipping to raking, mallow pulling to weeding and planting there was plenty to do. Not forgetting some more work on those infamous orange planters that have made it into GoodGym history! This time these colourful yet massive planters needed yet more shifting about and some compost dug out of them. We' ll be back before long to plant in them.

After a good stint in the garden it was time for our fitness. Teaming up into partners we alternated from and upper body to lower body focus, keeping the intensity high and getting all those muscles working.

Great job everybody!

Next week we're off to the scout hall - hope to see you there!

There was so much to celebrate on a sunny Saturday morning in Battersea, including

• A double birthday celebration, with both task owner and Doddington community garden lead volunteer Malissa and GG Wandsworth's Felix both marking a very special occasion!

• Ali reaching a huge milestone - 100 good deeds! That's such a huge amount of community impact, commitment and positivity spread throughout Wandsworth. Way to go Ali!

• Welcoming Armin to his very first GoodGym session - lovely to have you join us!

There was lots to get done, including sorting pots, digging up grass, snipping strawberries, sweeping leaves and replanting Japanese anemone - so we grabbed tools and got down to business!

After an hour of hard work the garden was looking a lot tidier and the Doddington team were pleased with everything we got done. All that was left to do was celebrate with cake and then on to a coffee nearby! Well done everybody, what a way to kick off the weekend.

Jags deliveries are back after a few months on inactivity. Ran 16 km from South Ealing to Brixton in the rain(on and off) and through puddles of water and mud to collect meals that were prepared just before my arrival in Brixton. Had my regular area in Brixton to go to and deliver food to 11 flats with a total of 14 containers. You should have seen the smiles of each person when they opened the door : not for me but for the delicious food as they have not received these ready meals for some months now, but back to normal as from today. Didnt take pictures of containers as flat numbers on them, but took some pictures in Brixton. Food had rice and chicken for most of them. Until next time and enjoy your meals.

Last night’s GoodGym Wandsworth run had community impact, zombie related content, a lot of manure, and some EMOMs that made sure no one noticed the freezing temperatures.

We kicked things off with a warm-up and a chat about how the January Challenge has been going. We've logged plenty of good deeds but we're still only 75% of the way there - can you help us get there? There’s still time to add to the total this Saturday's community mission in Doddington followed by coffee ☕️.

Before heading off, we paused to celebrate something pretty special: Jordan’s 300th Good Deed. From missions to group runs, socials and celebrations sessions Jordan has shown up to make Wandsworth a better, more community-minded place to live. A great milestone and one that deserves cheers (and cake, next week, when we'll have even more to celebrate!)

We also tackled the big question of the evening: who would you want on your team in a zombie apocalypse? The shortlist was eclectic. Bear Grylls (obvious survival skills), Barack Obama (calm leadership and negotiation under pressure) and Claudia Winkleman (great fringe). Strong team. The Zombies wouldn’t stand a chance.

Then it was time to run – heading up to Age UK Wandsworth Day Centre. This day centre is a vital community resource, offering support, connection and activities for older residents – a place that helps people stay active, social and independent. Spaces like this really make a difference in people's lives.

Our task involved two massive piles of manure which needed spreading across the garden beds. Tools were initially in short supply, but this is GoodGym – we adapt, we improvise, we get it done. With a bit of teamwork and some impressive resourcefulness we dispersed the manure and also squeezed in a big tidy-up of the surrounding area, leaving everything noticeably more welcoming.

With the task complete, it was straight into a fitness session in the car park. The workout? A EMOM (every minute on the minute) session featuring lunges, shuttle runs and squat jumps which kept the cold at bay. Strong effort all round.

Looking ahead to next week: we’ve got more milestones to celebrate, another great task, and then our monthly pub quiz. See you there!
