Samina, Tabitha and Pete met at Beer n Burger and jogged about 3km to the Abbey Community Centre where Jason told them what needed to be done in the garden. We met Beatriz there and Lee arrived soon after. The garden is lovely with great beds, a greenhouse and loads of pots around the edges. Pete and Beatriz were watering with hosepipe and watering cans.,later joined by Samina. Lee Tabitha and Samina were weeding. It was a nice evening and lots got done. We walked back and had a nice drink at Beer n Burger (and Lee had chips, naturally). Great job!

Fitness challenge!

Four runners set out from Willesden to Abbey Road Community Centre. We welcomed Jack to his first ever Goodgym task !

At the community centre we met Lee and collected our leaflets, advertising the childrens drop in sessions and the creche. We then set off to the Rowley estate where we divided into two groups, and managed to distribute leaflets to all the flats between the five of us.

Our fitness levels were definitely challenged, running up and down all those stairs, and another run back to Willesden totalled 11.4km. Thanks for a sporting Monday!

On Monday night Tabitha , Samina , Pete and Harvey wrapped up warm and met in Willesden green ready for an evening of good deeds and fitness . We started with a gentle run to warm up on the cold evening, and eventually completed the 3.4k run to Abbey Road community centre. The .4k was a bonus I didn't warm them about! . Theresa and Beatriz met us at the centre ready for the task. We received a warm welcome from Jason, who explained a little about the great work that goes on at Abbey Community Centre, and shared out stacks of leaflets for us to deliver to the neighbouring houses . They contained details of the current programme as well as upcoming events for children.

We split the leaflets and worked in pairs . There were plenty of stairs so we kept very fit while doing it.

Once the job was done , we said goodbye to Beatriz then some of us ran (or drove ) to Willesden for a chat and some lovely celebratory birthday cake from Samina . A huge thank you to everyone who came , and a Very Happy birthday to Samina !

Great work tonight , hope to see you all again soon

we cleaned the kitchen for Abbey road communiity centre , only two of us so we worked double speed !

The hottest Monday of the year so far and Hannah and Tabitha were brave enough to run two miles to Abbey Community Centre, our local community centre who always have events going on and are keen for us to help them look their best. You can read about them here :

Here we met Jason , Lee , Beatriz and Anne Mari. A big welcome to Annemari , to her very first Goodgym !

We split into two teams , with one group cleaning chairs , and the second group cleaning the windows until we could see our faces in them .

We posed for a photo , and headed either home or to beer and burger for a Cooldown , chips and chat

Excellent work everyone !!

Pete and Lee met at Abbey Community Centre and were furnished by Jason with cloths, gloves, bucket and squeegee stick. Then proceeded to clean and wipe some of the large external windows of the centre, coming up squeeky clean. Lee disturbed a huge slug, good to see some nature on the task. Good job, until next time.
